lyrics

This life is like hard time
Without your sparkling light
Don't ride away from the home we made
Please don't break the bonds we tied
I carry you with me everyday
Don't make the same mistakes I made
Footprints in the sand will be
Washed away by the tide

Hiding up in my brain
Hoping you're OK
Finding beautiful memories
Like pictures floating in space
Seeing your face at Christmas
Swimming in the Medlands waves
I don't want to be alone in the breakers
This world's turning cold and grey

I gave you my heart and soul
Watched you play, watched you grow
Carry you with me everyday
This dark pantomime's not how life's supposed to

Walking in the sand
With some ghosts from yesterday
Family pictures on my bedroom wall
Can't look at my father's face
What kind of evil promises
To fill their minds with venomous nonsense
Don't break up someone else's family
Out of spite

It's been a 12 year fight for access
To who is mine
Each day, similar alienation
Sees another father take his life
Spent the last eight months forsaken
Playing my part, slowly breaking
Living in the loneliness
Where these dark ideas reside

I gave you my heart and soul
Watched you play, watched you grow
Hope you figure it out someday
This dark pantomime's not how life's supposed to

I gave you my heart and soul
Watched you play, watched you grow
Carry you with me everyday
This dark pantomime's not how life's supposed to flow no
