Story Behind The Song
I've been wanting to write a protest song for a long time, since the first time ( u know what I'm talking about ) I just couldn't find the words. Also there's a fear of being next on his hit list because if a band ever actually recorded a song like this, they would be on the short list. Their lives will be investigated by the media, doxxed, who knows. No one wants the truth these days, everyone's hiding, everyone is afraid to speak out.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and I must make a pact,
We must bring back the love we had,
As I sit in my lonely room,
Surviving just on memories of you.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,
All I do is sit and weep,
In the morning and in the night,
I lie awake, pleading for what's right.
[Chorus]
My heart, my poor heart, it won't wait,
Need you every night, every single day,
Forgive me if I ever mistreated,
Bring back the love, oh, I'm pleading.
[Verse 2]
From that day we first met,
I recall every word you said,
It was true love at first sight,
When I looked deeper into your eyes.
Forgive me if I ever did you wrong,
Please come back, where you belong,
Whatever got into my head,
I didn't mean the things that I said.
[Chorus]
My heart, my poor heart, it won't wait,
Need you every night, every single day,
Forgive me if I ever mistreated,
Bring back the love, oh, I'm pleading.
[Bridge]
So I'm singing this song, singing it blue,
Crying out loudly, missing you,
Miss that love that gave me shelter,
Longing for days when we were together.
Time's slipping away, forgive my shame,
Without you here, I'm not the same.
The nights are cold, the days are long,
I'm lost in sorrow, can't find my song.
[Chorus]
My heart, my poor heart, it won't wait,
Needing you, post haste, right away,
In my arms, where you used to stay,
Oh, bring back that love without delay.
[Verse 3]
Every moment feels like a test,
Wishing for your touch brings no rest,
I'd give anything just to see you smile,
To hold you close, even for a while.
This emptiness is breaking me apart,
Every beat whispers, it's you I want.
Let's turn back time, rewrite our fate,
Love like this can never be late.
[Outro]
So I'm singing this song, longing and true,
Every note and every word again to you,
My heart, my poor heart, it won't wait,
Take my hand, darling, and let's recreate.
