Seven Years Lyrics
Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
How did I love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were cleanSo warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer
How you liedBut for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns around your feetAnd for seven years
I bowed down to touch the ground
So wholly your devoteeYou were, you were
All I could seeI'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 forgiveBut for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns around your feetAnd for seven years
I bowed down to touch the ground
So wholly your devoteeAnd for seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of anything and everything I hadYou 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
