Sappy song about the fall out of the break up.

Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.

Your Precious Things
© February 23, 2008 Stanley Loh
Verse 1
Your road ahead looks desolate,
My friends saw you with another date,
You must have known ‘cause you took off,
The locks been changed, I thought I ought.
Your guitar’s here, books piling up,
CDs, jackets and silver cup …
Chorus
Come take away your precious things,
And in the pile, our wedding ring.
Verse 2
I’ll fly alone through the sky,
I will hold my head up high,
After the pain you put me through,
A better life is overdue.
It’s not too late for me to try,
I’ll never let you see me cry…
Chorus
Come take away your precious things,
And in the pile, our wedding ring.
Bridge
So spare me … take away your stupid things,
I’m not missing anything,
I’ll be alright,
I have wings …
I’ll fly away to new highs.
Verse 3
I’m pinning a note about your things,
In seven days I’ll be ordering,
A moving truck to the dump,
All your stuff in one lump,
I’ll have the strength to fight the blues,
I won’t be crying out for you…
Chorus
Come take away your precious things,
And in the pile, our wedding ring.
Bridge
So spare me … take away your stupid things,
I’m not missing anything,
I’ll be alright,
I have wings …
I’ll fly away to new highs… I’ll fly away to new highs.
