A Thousand Lovers

Bess Atwell

Compositor: Bess Atwell

I needed you to say goodbye
Something I could never do
I do not choose to live in vain
So even when it is wrong
I don't want to lose a thing
And if I could

I'd have a thousand lovers in this house
And fight away the past
'Cause goodbye is just too hard
I'd have a thousand hearts under the bed
'Cause nobody needs to leave here
Nobody's incomplete here

It's not you that I'm missing
Just the person I became
The smiles that escaped my mouth
Well I'm closing them back in

'Cause I always need a reason
And I'm trying to work on it
'Cause I know that what I'm looking for is just something from within
But if I could

I'd have a thousand lovers in this house
And fight away the past
'Cause goodbye is just too hard
I'd have a thousand hearts under the bed
'Cause nobody needs to leave here
Nobody's incomplete here

I'd have a thousand lovers in this house
And fight away the past
'Cause goodbye is just too hard
I'd have a thousand hearts under the bed
'Cause nobody needs to leave here
Nobody's incomplete here
