The Battle of Love (Poor Little Thing)

https://tinyurl.com/3k6f4z79

So you rise again
poor little thing
up against the world
Making one last stand
for what you believe in

Talking out of turn
poor little thing
nobody's listening
not even the tallest
far away mountain
poor little thing

Flaws in the crystal
that flicker with age
draw you in closer
to the final page
to drown in love's ocean
words hollow with rage
poor little thing

And one day they'll drag you
kicking and screaming
to where you came in
from the battle with love
that nobody wins

Your soul is a desert
where hearts used to bloom
storing your memories
in the emptiest room
Reaching for hope
a new start begins
in the battle of love
where nobody wins

And one day they'll drag you
kicking and screaming
It's where you came in
to the battle with love
that nobody wins
the battle of love
that nobody wins

Your soul is a desert
where love used to bloom
stored up your memories
in the emptiest room
reaching for hope
that a new start begins
in the battle for love
that nobody wins

One day they'll drag you
kicking and screaming
It's where you came in
to the battle with love
that nobody wins
the battle of love
that nobody wins

poor little thing
