Robyn Harris - Lover of Mine Lyrics

Lonely is a lover of mine
Each year he grows stronger
And his grip is so tight
He found me when i was younger
Crying alone
Told me he'd be a shelter
Told me he would be a home
And I've been with him ever since
He's my past, my present tense
I see nothing in my future
Nothing hidden in the stars
I think he will forever cast a shadow on my heart

And I know he thinks he loves me
Wants to keep me as his own
Until now I never felt sorry I let him
Carve my body in stone
But still
But still
Lonely is a lover
Of mine

I laid on the edge of my bed I felt the cold brush of his breath
Reminding me he's here
Instead of another's warm flesh
And I remember a time
When I loved him once
But that was when the empty
Didn't hurt so much
But no memory
Of a feeling
Can heal me now

And I know he thinks he loves me
Wants to keep me as his own
Until now I never felt sorry I let him
Carve my body in stone
But still
But still
Lonely is a lover
Of mine

If I could go back in the moment
When he first reached out his hands
No fingers of my would clasp anyone
But time's
And I would take all of the tears
That turned to ashes on my skin
I'd keep them in a jar to show
And hope that I would understand
But it doesn't matter now
No it doesn't matter now

And I know he thinks he loves me
Wants to keep me as his own
Until now I never felt sorry I let him
Carve my body in stone
But still
But still
Lonely is a lover
Lonely is a lover
Lonely is a lover
Lonely is a lover
Of mine
