"Forbid" lyrics - JARBOE

When I was high I was high
When I was low I would cry
In search of balance
Not another lie

We go to this place
The place where we can't hide
It's a secret place
We trace the scars of our life
So come lock the door now
We can do anything we want
You shut the curtains
I turn down the lights
I want you to love me
It's a choice we've made
We'll refuse to hear all the stupid things people say:

It's a forbidden love
You were born too late
It's a forbidden love
Your skin's not the right shade

Forbid forbidden love
I say forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love

I've been waiting so long
All the tears see she drowned in them
C'mon let's give her a proper burial
Let's say a few words
Let's shut the lid on her coffin
On the hill overlooking her grave is a pond
Encircling is a lone swan
There's a tear in her eye

Did you know a swan could cry?
Did you know a swan could fly?

Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love (I choose you)
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love (I choose you)
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love (I choose you)
Forbid forbidden love
Forbid forbidden love (I choose you)
Forbid forbidden love
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
