about

An alt-country tune about healing after heartache.

lyrics

LYRICS

Been such a while yet the wounds won't heal
Hear a song, shed a tear
Might hurt less if she'd believe how you feel
The pain, the guilt, the loss, the love, the fear

She was gonna be your lifelong dream come true
But your heart sold its birthright for a bowl of stew

When your own self-loathing buries you alive
Growing colder, growing colder
And you're bleeding fast as her words slash like a knife
And your friends all come, pull you up and through, saying
Life ain't over, life ain't over
Still got some livin' some lovin' to do
Oh hold tight
At the end of the love of your life

Been great for them, bittersweet for you
Force a smile, fight a cry
Might hurt less if she'd forgive anew
The tears, the rage, the hurt, the reasons why

You were gonna be her kind and shining knight
But you became the dragon her heart had to fight

When your own self-loathing buries you alive
Growing colder, growing colder
And you grieve the past as she fast becomes his wife
And your friends all come, pull you up and through, saying
Life ain't over, life ain't over
Still got some livin' some lovin' to do
Oh hold tight
At the end of the love of your life

Then she says she forgave you long ago
Your own guilt is why you can't let go
Hopes that your longing turns to fondness

And her words console, pull you up and through
Life ain't over, life ain't over
Still got some livin' some lovin' to do, right?
On she says hold tight
For the dawning of the new love of your life
The new love of your life
The new love of your life
Hold tight, hold tight
The new love of your life
Hold tight, hold tight
Still got some livin' some lovin' to do

Arjay Sharp Colorado Springs, Colorado

I began writing at 15 to express the pains & pleasures of youth, teaching myself piano in the process. Lately, my current focus has been guitar and so my debut album falls more into the acoustic alternative genre. Based now in Colorado Springs, CO, my music carries influences from today's modern rock and 80's Top-40, including Snow Patrol, Imagine Dragons, Jars of Clay, Billy Joel and Toto. ... more
