A song about losing really bad and never being able to walk on
I am a corporate slave, live an average life in Luleå, Sweden with my wife, two kids, a house and two cars (no dog).
Story behind the song
The chorus popped out all of a sudden, took me about 2 hours to get the lyrics set, getting the song in shape took much longer though and it is maybe not even finished yet.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
You said
We should always be together
We should, always be as one
Standing here alone
Feeling oh, so blue
Alone, with pictures and memories of you
Chorus:
Hand in hand, you said
We stick to each other
Forever and ever
'Til the end of time
Verse 2:
You said
There will never be another
Our love was written in the stars
No matter how many years
Since you broke up what we had
Still, I have never, will never leave you
Chorus:
Hand in hand, you said
We stick to each other
Forever and ever
'Til the end of time
Verse 3:
The smile
On your face, still see it before me
Those eyes, that could look into my soul
No reason to stick to the past
But I want a future with you
And I, I will always be stuck to you
Chorus:
Hand in hand, you said
We stick to each other
Forever and ever
I'll wait here for you
