Well I am a lover
But I'm fighting within
I'm an outsider
But ain't looking in
I'm a true Christian
But I ain't free from sin
And when I'm arriving
I'm leaving again
I never been homeless
But I'm begging for change
Somewhere to go bury
My mortal remains
I lie to myself
But I'll tell you the truth
I'm looking for something
But thinking of you
And even though I can't stay
Even though I must go
Even now I'm on a path
Of peril and woe
Even though we were lovers
Even when we foes
Even then I hoped someday
Even though, even though
I question the answers
I question my life
I once saw a gentleman
Going home with my wife
I been under the gun
I been under the knife
And I'm hoping for a comeback
In the afterlife
And even though I can't stay
Even though I must go
Even now I'm on a path
Of peril and woe
Even though we were lovers
Even when we were foes
Even then I hoped someday
Even though, even though
