Story Behind The Song

At the end of freshman year of college, I knew I would have to leave my boyfriend behind...I secretly hoped we would stay together or, at the very least, get back together when I got back to school in the fall. I wrote this song in hopes so he would understand how I felt about leaving, and how I hoped he would have the strength to stay faithful to me over the summer.

Song Description

When moving away from her boyfriend, a girl finds herself questioning the loyalty within the relationship. The song is an innocent confession, as the girl hopes her man will remain faithful to her while she is away.

Lyrics

Seeing the world in green
it helps him understand, or so he thinks.
But it's not always what you bring.

The things you say and do are two completely different entities
and I'm not sure I'm in the mood.

So be strong while I'm gone
just remember your conscience lives on
Have you heard what I say?
You are treading on thin ice baby
and I won't keep waiting for long
So be strong.

I've said what I believe
to only get the fire in return.
What are you trying to achieve?
I promise you I see, sometimes what is wrong feels so right,
but I'm more than she'll ever be...

So be strong while I'm gone
just remember your conscience lives on
Have you heard what I say?
You are treading on thin ice baby
and I won't keep waiting for long
So be strong.

Maybe there's more than I see
that is a possibility
The act of darkness sets you free
If that's enough for you
then surely that is enough for me too,
I'm fine with finding something new.

You'll look back when I'm gone
just remember your conscience lives on
Have you heard what I say?
You are treading on thin ice baby
and I won't keep waiting for long.

So be strong while I'm gone
just remember your conscience lives on
Have you heard what I say?
You are treading on thin ice baby
and I won't keep waiting for long
So be strong.
