lyrics

I hid amongst the flowers.
In the shade of the trees.
This refuge that I had called my home,
Was no longer home to me.

Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,
Forever here with you.
A life of freedom and a life of beauty,
Was no longer within reach.

You called my name and I did not answer.
You came for me and I ran away.
Seeking to find what I was not made for,
Gave it all for just a taste.

A comforting voice now filled me with fear,
As he asks to hear the truth.
I reply, “This woman here,
Has made me take the fruit.”

It was not my fault.
Why did she listen?
He should have been there.
She should not have been there.
Where was he?
Am I her keeper?
He took it too.
Why did she give this to me?
It was not my idea.
She is to blame.
What happened to us?
Why did you ever make her?

What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?

You called my name and I did not answer.
You came for me and I ran away.
Seeking to find what I was not made for,
Gave it all for just a taste.
Gave it all for just a taste.
