This song takes the side of the "victim" in a broken relationship...
again another sad sad love song...

Its a pity that they don't get the recognition they deserved.


Title : Bitter Moon
Group : Level 42






Lyrics :

Those kissing words that come out of your mouth
Sweet promises to break my heart
You talk of love and I begin to trust
I dont know why Im scared

Those kissing words they climb inside my head
They cloud my mind like purest poison
When Im with you it feels so dangerous
I dont know why Im scared

Its driving me crazy
Bitter moon always betrays me
Betrays me

I know your thoughts Ive read your diaries
My fingers burn as I turn the page
You spoke of love my tears have turned to dust
I dont know why I care

Im asking you to give me more than this
I need to feel beyond the pain
The rain returns to rearrange the rust
I dont know why I care

Its driving me crazy
Bitter moon always betrays me
Betrays me

Its cold and its crazy
Bitter moon always betrays me
Betrays me

Cold sun in a wet rocky sky
A broken beach where the waves come to die
I walk alone with fear in my heart
Still I deny were falling apart

Cyclops shines through the legendary night
The living tale of a time we thought we might
The open grave of the shallowness of blame
Still I try to hold on to the flame

A cold sun like the steel in your eyes
The day you said goodbye was the day you saw me die
A cold sun no heat for my heart
Still I deny were falling apart

Its driving me crazy
Bitter moon always betrays me
Betrays me
Its cold and its crazy
Bitter moon always betrays me
Betrays me

a song to share......

It been a while...
hello and welcome back.

love songs...
sad sad love songs....
most of them are about the angst of heartbreak
being betrayed...

but what if you are on the other side ?
what if you were the one letting go ?
what if you fell out of love ?
what would you say ? what would you do ?

here is one song which says a lot about that...
a "other side of the coin" perspective per say...

Title : It's Over
Group : Level 42




lyrics :
-------------------------------------------------
I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can
but I can see another road
and I ain't coming back

Don't look for me around this town
'cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere
and I won't take no souvenirs
no perfumed picture promises
because it's over
and I ain't coming back

You gave me everything
and now I'm breaking your heart
you know that I don't mean
to tear your world apart

I would never leave if I thought you couldn't stand the pain
a letter in the hall
is written on the wall
a letter with no words of love at all
because it's over (because it's over)
and I ain't coming back

And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
instead I've torn your world apart

And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough
I feel bad enough
and all the times when you are lonely where you are
please don't hate me then
I just could not pretend oh no

Feel the tears
I can feel the tears
running through the years

read the lyrics carefully...
interesting perspective no ?
