Lyrics for David

O, 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 And what came spilling out that day was the truth If I'd had virginity, I would have given that too Why do we run to the ones we do? I don't belong to anyone, ooh O, 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 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-whoa-oh Oh-ah-ooh-whoa-oh Singing 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-ooh-hoo Am I ever gon' love again? Am I ever gon' love again? Am I ever gon' love again? Am I ever gon' love again? Tell it to the rock doves Will you ever feel like a friend? Sing it to the fountain Am I ever gon' love again? Till you understand Tell it to 'em
