Story Behind The Song

Written while going through a tough breakup

Song Description

A tale of love lost, despair, anguish, heart-break, finding patterns in our relationships, blaming ourselves for others' actions

Lyrics

I waited for your call
But it never came
I'm wondering where you are
And why I'm so lame

Never see the obvious
Until it's gone
Breaking my own heart
Lost and alone

CHORUS
I keep breaking my own heart
With my clueless ways
Forgetting what I've got
And why I should stay

All your friends will tell you
That I had my chance
That I don't deserve you
You should quit this dance

I should have shared my hopes and fears
Not tucked them away
Hoarded like insurance
For a rainy day

Should have let you into my head
And let you help
Sweep away the cobwebs
Of my doubt

I keep breaking my own heart
With my clueless ways
Building walls around it
Instead of giving it away



Keep breaking my own heart
With my apathetic chisel
My casual dismissal
Now I?ve driven you away

Keep breaking my own heart
Slowly tearing it apart
'Til it's whittled to the bone
And I find myself alone

As I looked you in the eye
From my vantage point on stage
All my disillusion
Melted away

One look in your eyes
The smile on your face
The beauty of your person
Brought back the better days

But now you're well beyond that
I dropped the ball again
By the time I tried to pick it up
Things could never be the same

By the time I came around
I had lost too much ground
Backpedalled while you stood firm
And said that I'll never learn

If I wore you out
That was never my intention
Now I'm shivering in sadness
At my lack of conviction

I'm quivering with madness
Still waiting for your call
Four hours later
I'll head back alone
To my empty home
