You’re a damaged song
All your lyrics are wrong
How did you get this way?
Where is the child
That was carefree and wild?
What happened that dreadful day?
Alas I can see
The image is me
No music left in my soul.
A strumming of time
Without rhythm or rhyme
Has finally taken its toll.
Where once was an opus
Of treble clef notes
And bass that rippled the air.
Are now broken tones
Solitary, old bones
Displayed on a sheet of despair.
I remember when I was little
And I held my daddy’s hand
The memories come flooding in
So, I do the best I can
—————–
To try and hold back the tears
As I say my last goodbyes
Feeling the swelling of my heart
That’s spilling from my eyes
——————
You see, daddy always loved me
And I always knew it was true
And that is why, my little one
I always say – I love you
——————-
And there’ll come a time someday
When you will be standing where I do
Holding the hand of your little one
And saying – I love you, too
Yeah, holding the hand of your little one
And saying – I love you, too
MISUNDERSTOOD
Cascading in a torrent
A raging river were her tears
How could he walk away from her
After all these years
She gave him all she had to give
Holding nothing back
But, now she’s standing all alone
He’s gone and that’s a fact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He didn’t understand her words
They cut him like a knife
He’d given all he had to give
He truly loved his wife
But in the words, she spoke in sleep
She didn’t call his name
A wall went up, as his heart broke
It could never be the same
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Refrain)
Don’t walk away… Misunderstood
Press upon your heart and soul
Lean into the good
Wrap your arms around each other
Hold tight and don’t let go…
Be faithful in your happiness
And love – will make you whole
(Repeat refrain)
