about

Initially written about an ex of mine, I modified the lyrics so it could be sung by a female about an ex of hers. In the case of Lisa, it was highly appropriate in terms of how her relationship went. Many of mine have suffered a similar fate!

lyrics

Not so long ago I had a lover
One I could connect with unlike any other
Strong but insecure ever certain never sure
And so I felt that we belonged together
Between us lay a bridge across a chasm
A gorge of former loves and chances taken
Stretched his hand to mine and so I crossed the line
As an exercise in my emancipation

Blinded by desire I never saw it comin
A hurricane that blew the ropes and left them broken
He stepped back to his side, my arms left open wide
And saved himself with fear and hesitation
Through the rushing air I heard him callin
Static on the rocks of his inhibition
With all my hopes destroyed, I soared into the void
A swallow dive to pain and education

Just the other day I was out a-walkin
And there he was tho I took him for an apparition
High upon a ridge, he was searching for a bridge
To another side where someone would be waitin
He waved to me and I smiled in recognition
But I turned away as I heard a voice inside me sayin:
Love don't ever pay if they won't meet you halfway
Remember this for your self-preservation
I said: Love don't ever pay if they won't meet you halfway
Remember this for your self-preservation.
