Forbid

When I was high I was high
When I was low I would cry
In search of balance
Not another lie
We go to this place
The place where we can’t hide
It’s a secret place
We trace the scars of our life
So come lock the door now
We can do anything we want
You shut the curtains
I turn down the lights
I want you to love me
It’s a choice we’ve made
We’ll refuse to hear all the stupid things people say
It’s a forbidden love

You were born too late
It’s a forbidden love
Your skin’s not the right shade
Forbid forbidden love
I say forbid forbidden love
I’ve been waiting so long
All the tears see she drowned in them
C’mon! Let’s give her a proper burial
Let’s say a few words
Let’s shut the lid on her coffin
On the hill overlooking her grave is a pond
Encircling is a lone swan
There’s a tear in her eye
Did you know a swan could cry?
Did you know a swan could fly?
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
I choose you
