Absolute Divinity

Looking for love, in all the wrong places
Don't you know that this isn't any basis
For long term happiness
For a little tenderness
To fill the emptiness
Instead of wilderness
Don' t just listen to your heart
See the emptiness beyond their faces

You know it's killing me
The pain in you I see
You're such a mystery, with all that history
Your happiness means so much to me
I want to set you free
Cast off your demons and let you be
yourself, an absolute divinity

You're always told about your physical attractions
Which always end up as an unnecessary distraction
From the one who lies inside
Swallowing her pride
Tell me, where did he hide
That lonely night you cried
Like all the best imposters
He's so undeserving of your attention

Looking for love and only finding heartache
Can't you see that you keep reliving mistakes
Why can't you learn your lesson
You're no-one's soul possession
To absolve their confessions
While pandering their obsessions
Try loving for yourself
Make that break, it's your happiness at stake
