Clive Nolan – The Girl I Was lyrics

Amelia:
How can one moment – the smallest event
Tear away your dreams, destroy all your defences
This killed my hopes, I felt my spirit die
I lost the girl I was, my life became a lie
How can one moment – The smallest event
Fill me with such loathing and passion for revenge

Gardelle: I’m sorry to intrude. I was worried about you.
Amelia: No need, I just wanted some time to think…

Gardelle:
Here, take my coat, you’re shivering with cold

Amelia:
I did not notice, my thoughts were far away

Gardelle:
You are still there in that prison cell

Amelia:
I know you are trying to help

Gardelle:
You are still there, that’s not hard to tell

Amelia:
You are kind for trying to help

Gardelle:
Don’t let injustice of a heartless past
Throw you to the whims of an endless darkness

Amelia:
Perhaps it is too late

Gardelle:
You are not alone now

Amelia: Am I not?

How can I bear – The cries of my past
These wounds will never heal
They’re with me till the last
Look at my heart, lying in the dust
You took away my choice, you tore away my trust
How can one moment – The smallest event
Fill me with such loathing and passion for revenge

Nowhere to hide, I feel you’re near
There’s a force inside and it draws me here
The world spins around but time stands still
I am caught in the grasp of a far darker will

I’ve looked into the devils eyes
I felt his cold embrace
I’m sure there can be no disguise
I cannot run and now he knows my face

Nowhere to hide, I feel you’re near
There’s a force inside and it draws me here
The world spins around but time stands still
I am caught – I am caught here – Caught here again

There’s a force inside and it draws me here
The world spins around but time stands still
I am caught in the grasp of a far darker will

There’s a force inside of me
