Camille Lyrics

You didn't know that you were the one
The deal you struck with fate
Signed sealed delivered in your hands
Trying hard to forget the one whose sympathy you wrought
Betrayed by the visions from your mind
And all the work you did demanded compromise from men
A woman's genius left out in the cold
And no-one really cared about the soul who lived inside
And freedom stolen from the wings of love

All the worlds afraid of you
So terrified of questioning
Unable to protect the fragile beast
Incarcerated for your power and driven mad by love
Struck wounded fear like statues in your heart

All you ever needed was the recognition you deserved
And not to be betrayed by one who saw
The jealousy
His jaded soul
That brought you to your knees
The passion in your hands that needed clay
Your hands
Your hands
Your eyes
