"David"

O, dark day

Was I just someone to dominate?

Worthy opponent, flint to my blade, now we're playing with shadows

At the Sunset Tower, you said, "Open your mouth"

I did

And what came spilling out that day was the truth

If I'd had virginity, I would have given that too

Why do we run to the ones we do?

I don't belong to anyone, ooh

O, dark day

Was I just young blood to get on tape?

'Cause you dimed me out when it got hard

Uppercut to the throat, I was off-guard

Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight

But what came spilling out that day was the truth

And once I could sing again, I swore I'd never let

Let myself sing again for you

Oh-whoa-oh

Oh-ah-ooh-whoa-oh

Singing

Said, why do we run to the ones we do?

I don't belong to anyone, ooh

I made you God 'cause it was all that I knew how to do

But I don't belong to anyone

Ooh-ooh-hoo

Am I ever gon' love again?

Am I ever gon' love again?

Am I ever gon' love again?

Am I ever gon' love again?

Tell it to the rock doves

Will you ever feel like a friend?

Sing it to the fountain

Am I ever gon' love again?

Till you understand

Tell it to 'em
