Story Behind the Song
My wife used to write a lot of poetry when she was younger, and one day she stumbled across an old notebook similar to my own that are just full of ideas and lyrics. This song is based on a completed poem and an argument that I don't write pop music :)
Lyrics
Standing here as I watch you walk away
Loneliness finds me, help me find the words to say
Turn around, don't leave, stay by my side
My feelings for you are something that I can no longer hide
It's engulfing my heart today, all my foolish pride
And I've nowhere to start to day, all my foolish pride
Tell me why can't I see, won't it ever let me be
As all your love slips away from my dying destiny
If only I had said the things that you needed to hear
I could have removed all of your senses of fear
But now I find myself in a world all alone
All for a foolish pride and my heart of stone
It's engulfing my heart today, all my foolish pride
And I've nowhere to start to day, all my foolish pride
Tell me why can't I see, won't let me be
As all your love slips away from my dying destiny
(spoken softly)
Please come back to me, I can't stand to see you go...
It's engulfing my heart today, all my foolish pride
And I've nowhere to start to day, all my foolish pride
Tell me why can't I see, won't it ever let me be
As all your love slips away from my dying destiny, destiny...
All my foolish pride...
