Born to Write

BORN TO WRITE

Released 15th June 2019

Every time I close my eyes,

Every time the lights not bright,

I can see you wondering,

Every time you leave me here,

Every time you close the door,

I embrace the darkness.

Is it a cage you lock me in,

Or are these chains of memories,

I cannot break free and clear.

So take my heart and leave behind,

The memories we made in life,

And just leave me wondering.

We may not be born to love,

But we were born to write,

Our own stories, dreams and lives.

And when you go and take it too far,

When you go and realise,

That I’ve finally seen the light

There’s no coming back this time,

You’ve played me for a fool in life,

And now the doors wide open.

I’ve packed my bags and left behind,

Left the memories and lies,

And left you wondering.

We may not be born to love,

But we were born to write,

Our ‘own’ stories, dreams and lives.

Have could you not have see the signs,

My heart was breaking every time,

And my pride was crumbling.

The plans we made just hopes of times,

When we could of lived a life,

Devoid of all this torment.

The dreams we shared dissolved and gone,

I know we tried but life moves on,

And the passion eroded.

We may not be born to love,

But we were born to write,

Our own stories, dreams and lives.
