Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm ever so lost
I can't find my way
Been searching
But I have never seen
A turning
A turning from deceit
[Chorus]
'Cause the child
Rose as life
Tried to reveal
What I could feel
[Verse 2]
I can't understand myself
Anymore
'Cause I'm still feeling lonely
Feeling so unholy
[Chorus]
'Cause the child
Rose as life
Tried to reveal
What I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone
Oh, no
[Verse 3]
I'm fooling somebody
A faithless path I roam
Deceiving to breathe this secretly
A silence
This silence I can't bear
[Chorus]
'Cause the child
Rose as life
Tries to reveal
What I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone
Oh, no
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone
[Outro]
A lady of woe
A lady of woe
