Christopher The Conquered - I Lose It lyrics

I've looked for love most everywhere I've checked right here and over there And every time I think it's mine I lose it Finally I realized That true love is more like true lies And if I give it a try I lose it Then I thought I'll just change the plot Oh if love's not real I'll do what I feel I'll tell a tale in which I fail To lose it It seems to be that pure hearts beat in only yarn we spin And beauty flows from nowhere from a pen I've been searching for the words so long ago life took Now I know where to look In the pages of a book Now it's done, I've given up the chase Stuck the roses back in their vase I'll never knock or ring your bell again
