Outlaws

"The thing is that we'd be outlaws in this cruel world..."

The thing is that we'd be outlaws in this cruel world

To them, the thought of you and I is absurd

They say it's a sin and wish I was a dove

It isn't enough to tell them that with you, I'm in love

They want me to be pure,

To love a man, to untint my soul

They say I have a darkness within me,

That the devil has tricked me

I gave my heart to a woman

But to them, even selling my soul would make me look more human

They won't listen, they won't learn

All they say is that in the end we will burn

But I'd happily take all that pain and suffering

If in the end I get to buy you a wedding ring

Even when they suck out all our happiness

Like leaches on our souls trying to steal our breath

We'll bring each other to life again, we will prevail

And live happily ever after just like the fairytales.
