I want God to come and take me home 'Cause I'm all alone in this crowd Who are you to me? Who am I supposed to be? Not exactly sure anymore Where's this going to? Can I follow through? Or just follow you for a while? Does anyone ever get this right? I feel no love Ain't no confusion here, it is as I feared The illusion that you feel is real To be vulnerable is needed most of all If you intend to truly fall apart You think the worst of all is far behind The vampire of time and memories has died I survived. I speak, I breathe, I'm incomplete I'm alive - hooray! You're wrong again 'Cause I feel no love Does anyone ever get this right? Does anyone ever get this right? I feel no love, I feel no love
