"Formwela 10" lyrics

"Formwela 10"

I saw what I wanted and took it for me
With all the strings attached like they're supposed to be
I didn't know how deep some feelings can go
And you can really do some damage down there in the soul of another
I wanted and got it opened up to me
So fast I didn't learn the dance of how to treat
These beings that walk and talk and breathe
And you can really do some damage down here in the role of a lover

Nobody watching over to make sure we don't waste
Love cupped right to our face
Can you see it? When you taste it, can you be it?

I met an angel on earth but didn't know it
Now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
With all this love in my heart I couldn't show it
Touching the sting of my shame, no need to grow it now
Maybe I'll find one again someday when I learn to love for real angel
May you find the one too

It's not to absolve responsibility
And there's no going back, the scars are plain to see
I know well I put you through a living hell
This is a way to make the damages clear so I don't do another that way

Nobody watching over to make sure we don't waste
Love cupped right to our face
Can you see it? When you taste it, can you be it?

I met an angel on earth but didn't know it
Now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
With all this love in my heart, I couldn't show it
Touching the sting of my shame, no need to grow it now
Maybe I'll find one again someday when I learn to love for real angel
May you find yours too
