Love devoured the last piece of peace
I could manage to keep
and kicked me down to my knees
Cause I was young and naïve
Now weak and in need 

To regain the seeds of my soul
And the keys to my own heart
For I have lost it all

And now I'm self medicating
Stay meditating for sanity
Blindly seduced in its vanity

Love is a drug and that's why I'm in rehab
I got stuck in it's tight hug
And I could never get enough
Until enough is enough

But still

I gave every inch of me
And I couldn't get a pinch of you
I freely gave myself
And expected nothing

Nothing was the worst gift
Which consequently
turned me into a misfit
Or an orphan in the love department

Patiently waiting for some one
To take pity upon me
And hold me in their arms
Saying I'm all they want

Reality is necessary but it's never on time

It let me believe you were mine
Some one tall, with nice eyes and fine
Like vanilla wine
I was on cloud nine
and then you pulled me by the waist
Watched me fall from the sky
Flat on my face

You whispered into my ears
With soft melodies of your history
I thought you were a mystery
A hero that came to take me out of misery

But I was just an old music box

You played my tunes
until you found a different muse
I guess her hair was softer,
Maybe her hips were wider,
She gets your future and I your past
You knew we'd never last

But still

You lied so sweetly
Touched me ever so lightly
Prayed with me nightly
Got my heart so easily
And left when it fit you rightly

But I was just an old music box

That you didn't bother to dust off
You desired me until my shine wore off.
