Listen to the Song whilst reading the words, if you like?
A non believing stare because it’s over.
Love coming down the stairs a loner.
And anyone who cares thinks we’re crazy.
I’ll spare you from details they’re a little hazy.
How much does it take, to make up for a lifetime of mistakes?
I’m over generous with my time.
I guess you’ve been noticing lots of changes around here.
We pretended we were millionaires, with scars we never had to bear.
If I give you back your innocence, would you give me back my playfulness?
Love is like a tragedy.
And everybody wants to see.
If you’re going to save the day,
A hero with just half a say.
We are bonded by eternal truth,
Honestly we have no proof.
Do you have a need?
Love is like a messenger.
Telling us just who we are.
Would you believe all that is said?
Make room for it in you head.
Would you make the necessary change?
Put love up on centre stage.
Would you and I survive?
Happiness is so passé.
Especially if you have the right to show it.
Nobody ever came to play in our show where we all are the puppets.
We were scared away from being free and frightened just to be alone with each other.
We had tenderness that all could see,
Just forgot about showing it to each other.
Because It's Over
Ok, let’s start the year off with a song!
This was written a month after my divorce, whilst the lyrics maybe somewhat reflective, the real meaing behind this is that life moves on and you are never far away from a new beginning.
Perhaps, the turn of a New Year has prompted me to load this?
Have a listen to the song here
