Darling don't you see
You've been wrong about me
I want your tomorrow
To be absent of sorrow ...
Put a stake thru the heart
Of all that's dark ...
~Verse 1~
Maybe we both want to end with forgiveness
But before we say...
If I say I'm sorry, I don't want you to miss
Just why I ran away...
I prayed to trust that every note was for us
When our song was playing
But I never could shake the memory of days
those little ways of betraying...
Darling whose song was playing?
~Chorus~
This was never about
A time or an age
Because even in doubt
A heart can't disengage
From destiny's song
So it just doesn't do
To say we were wrong...
But who were you singing to?
~Verse 2~
Last night I came and cracked the door again
Two lonely weeks had passed
(I tried to refrain and abandon the pain,
But my strength didn't last)
The song was serene but the remnant of me
Was banished from sight
Just an echoing blood-red soliloquy
No more white
... Is that all that's left for you?
No ... just let me believe in you!
-Chorus-
This was never about
A time or an age
Because even in doubt
A heart can't disengage
From destiny's song
So it just doesn't do
To say we were wrong...
But who were you singing to?
~Verse 3~
There is no velvet glove for leftover love
My soul is in spasms
Our dreams lie dead on the cold hard bed of
this deepening chasm
And there comes no light, no clear revelation
that you even care
If we live or die, not a drop of salvation
Two ghosts in dead air
Is this all you look forward to?
No ... just let me believe in you
-Chorus-
This was never about
Our right or wrong
Coz we couldn't renounce
Our destiny-song
My only question was if
I was right or wrong
to believe in your kiss
Are you keeping our song?
~Verse 4~
Leftover love drowned in scenes of the past
The other face
(Just simple truth! I'm so tired of the masks!)
So again I retrace
Every doubt, every question that tore me in two
When I couldn't see
If you were dancing for him even when I knew
you were singing to me
-Chorus-
This was never about
Our right or wrong
Coz we couldn't renounce
Our destiny-song
So it just doesn't do
To say it was wrong...
But who were you singing to?
Who are you singing to??
Can I believe in you
I'm sorry I hurt you
And are you sorry too?
Just tell me what's true
So I can believe in you
So you can believe in me
So we can both live again.

Oh

Usually when I read deep lyrics my eyes get teary and I shed a tear or two..but this...made me cry more than any song I ever heard. It's amazing...[Today] is the *tomorrow* you worried about ~yesterday~.Live for the ♥next day♥, not the ◘day before◘. -
Thank you so much! ... but I'm always sorry about the tears, wishing so much that such feelings never had to be felt
You know I have the greatest respect and the greatest love for your work, and your opinion always means a lot to me. Thanks againThere is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.

Thanks Shannon, and dittos for what you've written here.

Am I wrong to believe that the lyrics are becoming more intense and sorrowful? How you convey your pain in words is almost as if being naked. It is clear to see through the beautiful imagery.
Such memoirs... -
Hmmm ... not necessarily becoming more intense in day-to-day reality ... maybe just an increasing clarification of past feelings?
The strange thing is that very often when I read what others write here, they seem like part of my own memoirs too. So maybe I want to say that we're all in this together... life, for better and for worse.

If it is the past becoming more clear then I can understand. We all do take something different from everyone's lyrics and creates something new. That is why I love to read messages left for myself and others. It is a new viewpoint.
I am glad you are with us again, by the way.
