Power Lyrics

Power - John Michael Howell

...

I can't say I love you 'cause that would allow her

To control my heart like the wind to a flower

Blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours

For someone who won't turn its love into power

She knows the game more than I've ever seen

Plays her cards with such ease, no one's seen up her sleeve

It's hard to trust someone who's so good a liar

The more you go closer, the more that you wonder

All her compliments, were they more than chatter?

Or have I always just been rungs on a ladder?

I can't say I love you 'cause that would allow her

To control my heart like the wind to a flower

Blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours

For someone who won't turn its love into power

I don't mean to sound narcissistic and sour

But my hesitations only growing louder

So call me a pessimist, call me a coward

But I still don't trust when she says, "I don't love you for power"

Oh, I try not to care, so I don't lose my cool

When I do, my brain goes all numb like a fool

Like a thief in the night, she works behind the scene

Steals your heart when it's dark, so one ever sees

And I couldn't see her intentions if they were the sun

Love is blind, but her silence makes sorry enough

I can't say I love you 'cause that would allow her

To control my heart like the wind to a flower

Blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours

For someone who won't turn its love into power

I don't mean to sound narcissistic and sour

But my hesitations only growing louder

So call me a pessimist, call me a coward

But I still don't trust when she says, "I don't love you for power"

(Power, power, power)

So call me a pessimist, call me a coward

But I still don't trust when she says, "I don't love you for power"
