The Last Pretender Songtext
von Ten

Love′s lost endeavors
Conceal the light,
Each time it seems we're burning brighter and developing
Towards a key to life,
Star crossed together,
Full steam tonight,
For in my dreams you hold me tighter than I′ve ever been,
A bitter sweet delight,

When people talk about forever
And of a path that lies in wait,
The mysteries of life 'till death,
Of destiny and fate,
They watch for thunder clouds to gather,
But the lightning comes too late,
The fire within us dies
And with it hunger starts to fade,


When I think about you,
That's me...′The Last Pretender′,
Maybe I refuse to breathe
Scorched earth and embers,
Friends have tried to change me,
Say my head's in the sand,
But sometimes lovers have to go,
With life torn love it′s lust that's in command.

Bound, trussed and tethered,
We realize,
If one true love was our indictment here in purgatory,
Why not keep the prize...?,
Ground, crushed and severed,
Repeat the crimes,
The truth is, all we share together lasts eternity,
′Till the end of time,

When people talk about forever
And of a path that lies in wait,
The mysteries of life 'till death,
Of destiny and fate,
They watch for thunder clouds to gather,
But the lightning comes too late,
The fire within us dies
And with it hunger starts to fade,


When I think about you,
That′s me...'The Last Pretender',
Maybe I refuse to breathe
Scorched earth and embers,
Friends have tried to change me,
Say my head′s in the sand,
But sometimes lovers have to go,
With life torn love it′s lust that's in command.
When I think about you,
I see... my own agenda,
Like something from a dream,
You seem so warm, so tender,
You look so ′jaw dropping',
Lady, I understand,
His arrows never leave the bow
If Cupid′s got his manhood in his hands.
