Tainted Love




Of love that seems distant still
These people that care for us will
Keep our fears awake while we live
Why is it so hard for us to believe
What goes around will come around
To the haunted past are we bound

This love that finds us, binds us
And strangles us, unconscious

The tale of confusion never clears
Drowning in our steadfast tears
Distorted reflections what we see
And we fool ourselves being happy
Slipping from our grasp is our life
Dealing with all the war and strife

This love that finds us, binds us
And strangles us, unconscious

Are we so blind to overlook truth
In favor of the ecstasy of youth
For crying out loud, it is insane
Living the curse, the damn urbane
I'd rather try the age of stone
Or maybe walk from here on alone

This love that finds us, binds us
And strangles us, unconscious

Crowded into my shell, this love
Inhibits me. Help me O God above
This time around I need my space
I'm not running to win this race
Lest I forget myself, and despair
I have to keep constantly aware

This love that finds us, binds us
And strangles us, unconscious
