Song Description

A song of lost love.

Lyrics

As I saw some light breaking through the clouds, my heart showed a smile from within
So I took off all of my heavy shrouds, and waited for the warmth to begin
I emerged in all my nakedness and laid to await the sun
I closed my eyes and spread my thighs for the moment that was soon to come
But my gentle trance was broken with a loud and cracking roar
As the pain grew now and the rain flew down in a dreadful, torrential pour
Now drenched with nothing to shield myself, my tears began to run
And my body was rocked with a powerful shock from the lightning I?d thought was the sun

Chorus:
Another hip-hop love song that all went wrong
Another hip-hop love song that all went wrong
How could I ever know my love was gonna be so strong
Another hip-hop love song that all went wrong
Another hip-hop love song that all went wrong
How could I ever know my heart was gonna hurt so long

Remember the moment that we met like it was just yesterday
First bite of love at first sight and hey was all I could say
Out of the blue I knew your heart was what I had to pursue
I had no clue what this would do when it was ended by you
I saw my future in the glass and nice guys finish last
Was a thing of the past, my girl had so much class
Our first kiss was pure bliss look back at how much I miss
That brief tryst when dismissed sent all my love life amiss
I found out, face-to-face just what hell is,
Checked into the Heartbreak hotel, down on Lonely street with Elvis
My mind was jealous while my heart was overzealous
Had to get back to cut slack and hanging with the fellas
And though I try to save face, keeping my heart in the chase
I know I?ll die before I can replace the scar I?ve embraced.
So now I?m singing my song, my days and faces are long
And I can?t help but start to think that you have always been gone.

CHORUS

I trace her lips in a photograph and think back on moments past
On how we used to laugh, you were my first and my last
But now it?s passed, I close my eyes and try to picture you
In motion, but time?s an ocean, nothing?s coming through
The memories drowned, are only static and gray
And now I?m tired of the frowns, I?ll throw this picture away
And you?ll be gone from my life, give me a chance to start anew
But by the time I turn around, my thoughts already of you
I try to fight it, denied it, this love so unrequited
The pain is too much to take again and so I light it
Watch the flame as it glows, and feel the pain as it grows
Remains of dust just bust my guts, I?ve taken so many blows
But now the demons are exorcized, the pictures have met demise
The memories soon will lose their ties, and I can close my eyes
But no, your face still remains upon the inside of my brain
And now I know you?ll never leave me, etched forever ingrained

CHORUS
