[Lyric] Love I Denied (John Robert Hunter)

Verse 1
She turned to me and said Ive got your child
Let”s get married, let me be your wife
I could feel myself turning, turning to ice
I said I loved her, and she just smiled
Her tender kisses used to drive me wild
But this tine I felt no passion, it was just a kiss

Verse 2
I had dreams; you know how they haunt you all through your life
I was chasing a rainbow; she couldn’t put out the fire
She wanted a family, she wanted me
I left that girl; I was too scarеd to stay
I packed my things and I moved far away
I left hеr crying, with a baby on the way

Chorus
Believe me I died, for you the love I denied
Trapped by my lies, that is right
The years pass on by, and I still pay for my crime
Love I can’t find, it serves me right
Verse 3
I was young, I was foolish, I was way out of line
I was burning with desire, oh I was blind
I wasn’t ready, so I ran from her side
Into the darkness and out of the light
Into the city where the sun never smiles
I can”t go back; I shut that door in my life

Chorus
Believe me I died, for you the love I denied
Trapped by my lies, that is right
The years pass on by, and I still pay for my crime
Love I can’t find, it serves me right

Verse 4
An empty life, the fault is mine
I had a girl but I left her crying
I think about her all of the time

Chorus
Believe me I died, for you the love I denied
Trapped by my lies, that is right
The years pass on by, and I still pay for my crime
Love I can’t find, it serves me right
Love I can’t find, it serves me right
