Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a song about the specific point in a relationship when both partners sense a breakup is imminent but there is still an equilibrium between the desire to leave/stay.

Song Description

A melancholy introspective breakup song

Lyrics

Got caught the other day
Tryin' to change my master plan
Tryin' to change my destiny
Tryin' to stop your crying
Crying

Something in the way you said
"Could you be my destiny?
Can't it be just like today?
Why can't you stay till the end?"
Stop crying

I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but
the little tears running down your face

I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but
the little tears running down your face

The little tears running down your face

Woke up the other day
Didn't feel like getting up
Kinda thought I'd hear you say
"Sleepy Head let's go to work
Keep trying"

Can you call in sick today?
I just need you for another hour
If this is our season's change
Then give me all of you now
Stop crying

I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but
the little tears running down your face

I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but
the little tears running down your face

The little tears running down your face

Is it all a loser's game?
Why can't we both grow up?
If we never came this way
Never drank this destiny cup
Who's crying?

Wish it went some other way
Wish we made the whole thing up
You whisper in my ear
"Just give me all of you now
And stop crying"

I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but
the little tears running down your face

I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but
the little tears running down your face

The little tears running down your face
