cold comforts

Maybe I have lost my sanity
Else I wouldn't be on my bedroom floor
On my knees, grieving a lover
That never belonged to me

Maybe I have lost my sanity
Else I would've never accepted
That cold comfort of your embrace
As if we didn't share our bodies just now

Maybe I have lost my sanity
Else I wouldn't be so devoted
To an illusion you created
That became my tender destruction

Maybe I have lost my sanity
Else I would have an identity
Apart from your lover
