Cheek

Let that which is love be true
I am down in the dirt after a fight
I lose every time because I want you to win
My submission is a great adversary
To that which is evil in this world
So expect that people have said
Lies about me despite the truth
I turn to you with hope for your love
All I need is love I have certainly tried
So here I am as you want me
Standing tall in the name of the Lord
Turning my other cheek

Gone

Last one
No more will I write
No more will I pour
My heart as I have done

I opened up in many forms
Let my soul wrapped in flame
Stake a claim
But I stood all alone
When love stood before me

I have seen too much to deny
Felt too little from others
To hate this world so much
Believing in a mystery

I could say you won the battle
But what will you lose
When I am gone?

… I never wanted to say I told you so
