[hometext] => Most people think this is about a lost lover but it is actually written about my father.
[bodytext] => Cry in my sleep when my heart’s calling out Better done quietly – better not shout. Hiding that feeling, don’t call it by name I can only imagine you’re doing the same. I walk through my life and pretend it’s not there This hole in my heart, my dream with it’s tear. I smile and I breathe when it’s my cue But when will it heal, this damage from you? I feel at some point I’ll cease to be sane How can I continue when I’m in all this pain? I hide it so well. I am so clever. So long as I believe it will all come together. But am I alone with these thoughts of mine? Should I talk to you or just give it time? Will it go on and how long do I wait? There goes that pendulum – now love, now hate I stand and I linger. You know I am here. Perhaps, just maybe, you too, are in fear To mention what, beneath the years, lie Whatever it was that first made me cry. I guess I’ll go on, pretend nothing’s wrong But I always remember when I hear a certain song Or sometimes I weep when I read aloud from a book That reminds me of the love that from me you took. I choose not to stay and on this to dwell Waiting for you to come to me and to tell The mistake you made has filled you with regret. So I’ll put it aside, but I’ll never forget.
