Story Behind The Song

I wrote the song about the break up of a close friend.

Lyrics

"Dearly Departed"
VERSE I
It took some time but I felt safe with you
Let down my guard was blinded by what I thought was the truth
Fell in love through the dark I gave myself and everything I had to you
But your lies keep shining through
CHORUS
Hurt me with your truth don't protect me with your lies
You thought you were saving me, until you set my world on fire
You broke my heart, thats where it all started
Now there's no room in my life dearly departed
VERSE II
Everything has suddenly changed turns out you don't trust me
Accused me of hanging with someone that I used to see
And now I'm feeling like I'm in a deep black abyss oh baby
Every time my heart is dismissed every time my dark creeps in
CHORUS:
Hurt me with your truth don't protect me with your lies
You thought you were saving me, until you set my world on fire
You broke my heart, thats where it all started
Now there's no room in my life dearly departed
BRIDGE:
Can't even trust you at all a message a text or a cell phone call
I'm tired of the same old stories you've been trying to cash in
Here I am betting on love with my heart broke again
CHORUS:
Hurt me with your truth don't protect me with your lies
You thought you were saving me, until you set my world on fire
You broke my heart, thats where it all started
Now there's no room in my life dearly departed
