Generation Lost Love versuri

Generation Lost Love lyrics by Vincent Ryder

Intro
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give, don’t give it away
Don’t give

Verse 1
You made me weak for a week and the many weeks after
Your absence haunts me and I can’t get myself together
Thinking of how we cared for each other
And in my loneliness I can’t help but wonder
How our caring would evolve if you stayed a bit longer
If it’d fade away or just grow even strongеr
Well you didn’t fade
You made a hasty dеparture
As you turned loveless
Your embrace got colder

Pre-Chorus
I felt the distance creeping over my shoulder
But chose to ignore it hoping it wouldn’t linger
But well it did – it got bigger
As you grew sicker

Chorus 1
I showed you what I wanted to show you
I saw what you wanted me to see
But was my image of you even you?
Or someone else entirely?

Verse 2
You’re young; I’m younger
You’re passionate like myself and I saw your anger
I recognised it and made you my mirror
That reflects the idea that things could get better
A beacon of hope in a world growing darker
A comforting thought as existence gets harder
But the light grew weaker as you grew sharper
The reflection got warped like when rain meets the river

Pre-Chorus
And your rain wasn’t soft
Your rain was like thunder
A sudden change and I couldn’t
Recognise you no longer

Chorus 1
I showed you what I wanted to show you
I saw what you wanted me to
How could any girl compete with the idea of you?

Instrumental

Interlude
Distance I feel it
In empty midnight stares
Yeah, distance I feel it
Growing everywhere

Chorus 2
Fear of feeling
Fear of the real thing
Fear of commitment
Thinking love is engagements
Fear of sorrow
Fear of pain
Fear of future
Living in vain
Fear of feeling
Fear of the real thing
Fear of commitment
Thinking love is engagements
Fear of sorrow
Fear of pain
Fear of future
Living in vain

Post-Chorus
Are we?
Are we a generation?
A generation
Lost love
Are we?
Are we a generation?
A generation
Lost love
