Virtuoso

Play me like your violin
Your expert fingertips delicately caress my skin
Sweet words you sow
In my heart so it glows, with your bow
You're a virtuoso

Whisper softly in my ear
Sing the words I want to hear, so my resolve caves in
For you, it's all about the win, but when you play your tune I lose all self-discipline

See you pick up other instruments
You say l'm your favourite, so I daren't complain
Though you tug hard at already weakened strings Your melody numbs everything

Play me like your violin
Your expert fingertips delicately caress my skin
Sweet words you sow
In my heart so it glows, with your bow
You're a virtuoso

Stretching out, when this neck
Snaps in half, you'll draw back
Spotlight gone, pitch black
Your poignant tone
Means I could never go, 'cause with your bow
You're a virtuoso

Needing you more than you're needin' me
Play the music on your sheet
Just like the others that you've played before me
But you keep sayin' my sound is unique
Makes you feel a new symphony
But I know you've sung those lines a million times already

See you pick up other instruments
You say l'm your favourite, so I daren't complain
Though you tug hard at already weakened strings Your melody numbs everything

Play me like your violin
Your expert fingertips delicately caress my skin
Sweet words you sow (You sow)
In my heart so it glows, with your bow
You're a virtuoso

Stretching out, when this neck splits in half, you'll pull back
Spotlight gone, pitch black
Your poignant tone
Means I could never go, 'cause with your bow
You're a virtuoso

I'll bring to you a finale
If you can strike a chord, so can I
My Maestro, your lessons set me free
Soon all the roses will rain on me
This willow's wept a river, darling
One day, when I'm gone you'll weep for me
