Lyrics "Once, I ran to you. Now, I run from you." by Ed Cobb and performed by Gloria Jones in the 1964 track Tainted Love.
lyrics
You gave so much,
and I gave nothing in return.
No place to call home,
I'll forever wander ALONE.
In my dreams it's you I see,
but when I wake,
you're not here with me
To be forgiven, is all that I ask.
To be forgotten, let's kill the past.
No concern whether I live or die,
I have no more fight to continue with life.
A sad song for all I've done.
A sad song, will you care,
when I'm gone?
I can't help but feel this way,
I need to escape this pain.
I am plagued by the memories,
and forever scorned by this fate.
I beg and plead for the devil to take my soul,
Any action as long as it takes me home.
ALL HOPES ARE NO MORE,
I'M SHAMED AND ALONE
ALL THOUGHTS ARE NO MORE,
I'M CURSED AND ALONE.
