Motherless Child (Love’s Not For War) Lyrics by Elephant Stone

The Three Poisons

2014

You say you love me
You say you hate me
How can I know who's who
A war of words can’t cut right thru it
To lay bare the truth
You can't be who you say are
I can't believe that it’s you
A motherless child is what we are
And I can't tell who is who
A girl, we loved her like no other
Where is the one I know
The one who loved me
Would die for me
But now can't find her soul
You can't be who you say who are
I can't believe that it's you
A motherless child is what we are
And I can't tell who is who
Can you hear me knockin'
Open your door
I’ve been here beside you
What are you waiting for
You say you love me
You say you hate me
How can I know who’s who
A war of words can't
Cut right thru it
To lay bare the truth
You can’t be who you say are
I can't believe that it's you
A motherless child is what we are
And I can't tell who is who
