Loree Adams
Virus
There's and emptiness inside my soul
Something he took that made me whole
And left a virus that eats me
Until someone can give me the key
A key that will unlock the pain
To let it escape like acid rain
But my hero seems is gone
He rode off at the crack of dawn
Leaving me to save myself
Without anyone to help
Cure me of this broken heart
But the evil keeps throwing the dart
It is this curse I must remain
Even though nothing keeps me sane
This devil with his velvet words
A song I wish that was unheard
