How did I love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean
So warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer
How you lied
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet
And for seven years
I bowed down to touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
You were, you were
All I could see
I've got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don't you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But never forgive
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet
And for seven years
I bowed down to touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
And for seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of anything and everything I had
You were, you were
All I could see
You were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
