You were the one that I ran to when I was child You gave me sunshine and laughter and hope for a while Always beside me, a shoulder to cry on But you were a spider creeping inside of me Watching my every move, saying you know me well I learned to fear you and your strange devotional We grew in hate and despair Every concealing emotion was spent Your words were poisonous air And I recoiled from the love that was meant But there was a time, when I could have loved you The moon on the mountain shone only for you There was a time, when I could have loved you I could have been true, the moon on the mountain for you You were the thorn in my side, my ribbon of red You said you'd leave me alone but you stayed in my head You said that you'd k** me if I ever let you down But you were trading my secrets all over town Tried to forgive you and see things in your domain But you were subtle and ruthless in your cold game I could not have been more trusting Oh I loved you, I could not take anymore But like any moon I wax and wane I'm fickle when I choose to rise into the sky Yes there was a time, when I could have loved you The moon on the mountain shone only for you There was a time, when I could have loved you I could have been true, the moon on the mountain for you
