Текст песни The Motive ('74 part 4) - Go Birch

I compared our love to the eternal flame
Pictured us as two swans swimming
You saw it more as an entertaining game
To play as long as you were winning

I could have gone on in ignorant bliss
Me loving you, you loving the tryst
Until God told me of the Angel's list
And shattered my illusion into a thousand bits

And she said

I gave you my love
I never gave you my life
You expected eternity
From love at first sight

Of course she was right, it could never come true
The eternal optimist with the immortal you?

So that's my story, now you know why
It took two bullets to stop me living a lie
I won't pretend it was all God's will
Besides, He left me to pick up the bill
