Exercise In True Love Lyrics

Exercise In True Love lyrics

My heart broke for the last time last night 

When I saw her disappear into the moonlight chasing midnight 

As I sat paging through the newspaper reading about who's at war with who? 

Who's lying to who? who's beating who? 

I reached for my cup of coffee 

As black as the minds of men and the hearts of women 

And I felt an uncontrollable emptiness. 

I looked up and through the glass window 

Hazy with a blanket of industry 

When suddenly the most beautiful woman appeared 

Like a cherub familiar yet strange. 

I felt as if I knew her as well as my own secrets

Yet I knew nothing. 

I felt an urge to jump out of my seat and hold her 

Then I realized a beauty of this magnitude 

Need not be tarnished by the expectations of another 

Nor could she ever again be what she was to me 

At that very moment an ounce of faith 

For a soul drunk with apathy. 

It's strange how we instinctively 

Attempt to alter what we love 

Often spawning the antithesis of its own incarnate. 

This masochistic ignorance defines our species 

And will ultimately lead to our demise. 

As for my love outside that window 

Untainted she walks alone. 

I hope you know 

I hope you know that I love you for 

Forever and when forever never comes 

You'll be in my arms together-together-forever-forever 

We are one 

We are one
