[Verse 1]
Oh, dark day
Was I just someone to dominate?
Worthy opponent, flint to my blade, now we’re playing with shadows
At the Sunset Tower, you said, “Open your mouth”
I did

[Pre-Chorus]
And what came spilling out that day was the truth
If I had virginity, I would have given it too

[Chorus]

Why do we run, run to the ones we do?
I don’t belong to anyone

[Verse 2]
Oh, dark day
Was I just young blood to get on tape?
‘Cause you dimed me out when it got hard
Uppercut to the throat, I was off guard
Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight

[Pre-Chorus]
But what came spilling out that day was the truth
And once I could sing again, I swore I’d never let
Let myself sing again for you, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Singing

[Chorus]
Said why do we run to the ones we do?
I don’t belong to anyone, ooh
I made you God ’cause it was all
That I knew how to do
But I don’t belong to anyone, ooh

[Outro]
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again? Ooh
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again?; Tell it to the rock doves
Will you ever feel like a friend?
Sing it to the fountain
Am I ever gonna love again?
Do you understand?
‘Til you understand
Tell it to him
