The One Who Stole Your Life

Return to Lyrics -::- Print Friendly Version

Be careful what you ask for - you may get it.

In this case, I was fortunate, in that I didn't get what I asked for:

I had been single for a long time, when I met a beautiful 19 year old slip of a girl - tall, and waifishly thin, a pert smile. I was entranced. In my loneliness, she became almost an obsession to me. I needed her, so very badly. In effect, she stole my life - but she turned me away (she was looking for a wimp to rule - and later found one! Rocks on the road, I'm afraid).

Whereas her life since has been a staggering death march of bones and broken hearts (think of Cupid... with a machine gun!), my life has been quite solid, stable, and fairly fulfilling - and she cannot be part of it.

In the end, you see, I stole her life - or at least, the fulfilling one she could have had, with me.

And I won't give it back...
