Don’t look back
-
Don’t look back
-
I keep my resolve steady
like Orpheus leaving his beloved in the underworld
my grief for you consumes me
I hear your voice
I know you’re there
just behind me…
-
but I don’t look back
I can’t look back
-
the temptation of you
breaks me
with every step
and I know,
I’m doomed,
to a fate of mourning you
my love;
but still I walk
forward
step by step
head held high.
-
Don’t look back
-
for I know I can’t
stay down there with you.
so forward I march
with the pieces of my shattered heart
I’ll see you in my dreams
my love,
forever just over my shoulder,
calling to me
but
-
I won’t look back.
I throw my heart
against the walls you built
-
over and over
over and over
-
I aim at the cracks
hoping to break through
-
over and over
over and over
-
battered and bruised
pieces of my heart fly off
lie dead on the ground
-
over and over
over and over
-
when will it stop?
will this wall ever break?
-
over and over
over and over
-
a glimpse of sunshine,
a tiny hole!
renewed with hope I throw with all my might
-
over and over
over and over
-
my heart, now a third of its size,
the destruction lays all around me.
Finally it fits through the hole,
so grateful that it worked,
I tell myself I’m happy
-
over and over
over and over…
Eclipse
I’m so tired of being tired
so sick of feeling sad
it doesn’t have to be
this hard.
just let me love you
come back to me
and love me how you once did
I’m trying so hard
but fake smiles
have expiration dates
and my heart is almost
at the limit
of what it can take.
I know you’re in there
somewhere…
please dont tell me
it’s too late
come back to me,
my love
This eclipse is breaking
us both
the darkness is spreading
blocking out the light
of our love
Im still here.
come back to me,
My Love
