Ever Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

I've been racing for you, honey 

But you take your love 

From under my feet 

The very moment I arrive 

I hold the invitation in my hand 

You smile and I don't understand 

When you tell me the writing ain't yours 

You were the one thing I could count on 

Even if your apathy was what I expected 

Oh, darling, I waited and waited to feel your footsteps 

And to hear your breath 

But maybe I just wanted someone to wait for 

You were ever in my mind 

You were behind my soul each time 

I held it to the flame 

You were ever in my precious thoughts 

I'd leave a room of angels 

Just to be alone 

If only to say your name 

I never told you I needed you, darling 

Like a rose needs the rain 

How could you possibly know how much? 

So I reach for your love 

Like the moon and the stars 

Ever in my sight 

Ever out of touch 

There's a spotlight of a holy kind 

Think it comes from somewhere 

Up in the sky or from some far off, lovely place 

But this light never, ever, ever shone on me 

At least as far as I could see 

So I sat in the dark and I watched you 

Now I just cry to myself 

When there's no one around 

And I teach myself to walk backwards 

Out of any given situation 

Yes, I can be graceful and try 

Not to step on my train and 

You don't have to say goodbye 

But I'll be right here if you want to 

You were ever in my mind 

You were behind my soul each time 

I held it to the flame 

You were ever in my precious thoughts 

I'd leave a room of angels 

Just to be alone 

If only to say your name 

I never told you I needed you, darling 

Like a rose needs the rain 

How could you possibly know how much? 

So I reach for your love 

Like the moon and the stars 

Ever in my sight 

Ever out of touch 

Now, I could paint your portrait 

If I never saw you again 

When I am old someone may ask me 

If I ever loved 

And I will speak but they won't recognize 

My words, they'll say I'm telling lies 

And maybe I am 

Maybe I am 

All I know is 

You were ever in my mind 

You were behind my soul each time 

I held it to the flame 

You were ever in my precious thoughts 

I'd leave a room of angels 

Just to be alone 

If only to say your name 

I never told you I needed you, darling 

Like a rose needs the rain 

How could you possibly know how much? 

So I reach for your love 

Like the moon and the stars 

Ever in my sight 

Ever out of touch 

I never told you I needed you, darling 

Like a rose needs the rain 

How could you possibly know how much? 

So I reach for your love 

Like the moon and the stars 

Ever in my sight 

Ever out of touch
