Story behind the song
My friend Romi and I wanted to try and co-write some songs, so she graciously gave me this lyric with which to work. So I took the lyric, did some tweaking of my own with her permission, and this is what we have come up with... In Spite of Myself, I know that the GOD will me LOVE ALWAYS! :-)
Lyrics
“In Spite of Myself”
Lyrics by Romi Kamberg & Mark McCabe
Music by Mark McCabe
Verse I:
An ache in my heart
Kept time with every beat of mine.
I thought it was love
But it was only lonely cries goodbye.
Pre-chorus:
So I turned to my closest friend, denial
Who kept her promise to keep my heart in exile.
Chorus:
Until your love came my way
Rescued my soul
As I grow older now
You see this pain on my face
Wash it away
By loving me once
Loving me twice
In spite of myself, loving me always.
Verse II:
It’s so hard to love me
When I hide behind this veneer you see.
Afraid and confused-
Doing things I don’t feel, who gets used?
Pre-chorus:
Well I turned to my closest friend, denial
Who kept her promise to keep my heart in exile.
Chorus
Bridge:
You open up my eyes
You bring back to life
Your love awakens my heart again
and again
Again and again
and again.
Chorus
