Strictly Yours

Song Lyrics about loving someone after breakup

You take a picture of your rosaries
You collect them, you've defaced them
You walk around in your blinded room
No one looks here; it's your biggest fear

If your heart should be broken,
Could you awake from your dismal state?
If your soul isn't taken,
Then what remains, is your mistake.

Chorus:
You'll love him always
Forgive him always
But he'll never be yours
Never be with you always
Or look at your face
Or the memories of yours

Fortune teller, tells your future
You'd listen, but you haven't one
Wrote a letter to a stranger
Found a pretty stamp, threw it in the trash

Can't be afraid to let them in
You must weigh-in, just to begin
If you've broken everyone
Your only sin, is what could have been

Chorus:
You'll love him always
Forgive him always
But he'll never be yours
Never be with you always
Or look at your face
or the memories of yours

... or the memories that are strictly yours.

I agree with you. I believe the saying "people want most what they can not have", and I think that this saying and your poem correlate perfectly. It is a beautiful was to put it.

It is so sad when you know it will never be. Sometimes time has surprises in store for the future. Your title is great and I love the chorus. This line is so clever: "Fortune teller, tells your future
You'd listen, but you haven't one" A sorrowful and well written song.
