I needed consolation
not your false admiration
I looked for sanctuary
That was too much to ask

I needed empathy
or at least sympathy
I looked for recognition
That was too much to ask


I needed some connection
not fleeting false affection
I looked for something living
That was too much to ask

I needed mystery
not my hopes atrophy
I looked for something sacred
That was too much to ask

You never sheltered me (12x)

I looked for sanctuary
I looked for recognition
I needed consolation
That was too much to ask

I looked for something living
I looked for something sacred
I needed some connection
That was too much to ask

You never sheltered me (12x)
