all of my favorite clothing
all of my favorite books
all of my favorite music
that is all you took
the queen became the rook

all of my favorite reasons
for living and giving my love
the only things I worshipped
that's all I'm bereft of
and all you left was my love

and is it enough in this world
where people seem to want so many things
is love attractive enough
if it's not wrapped in pretty bows
and tied up with golden strings

and is it enough in your world
to just hold on to my favorite things
or have you discarded them
for something new to have and to hold
and seduce with the song your heart sings

beautiful siren
this is the song you've waited for
the words that tell everyone
how wonderful your heart feels

beautiful siren
this is why you did what you've done
to be immortalized in song
as a heart that steals a heart that heals

and it's a song you'll never sing
unless you write the music yourself
for that's all I can keep from you
that's all I have left on my shelf
and you can laugh as you cringe
on yet another binge
feeling the power you have to control
those you draw near
those you push away
but you can't lose what you never has
here's the sirens soul

beautiful siren
this is the song you've baited for
the words that tell of your deeds
how well you can use your time

beautiful siren
this is the reason we're alive
to be immortalized in song
as a heart that survives and a heart that arrives
(or a heart that derives and a heart that arrives)

beautiful siren
ever searching, every alone
always wanting that which you can not own
never daring to
caring to
  or believe you could...
find your own
