A Love ballad. When you find REAL LOVE...you better hang on to it!
Artist picture
Lyrics and melody producer, singer/songwriter. Looking for collaboration with other artists.
I'm essentially a solo artist...lyric writer, melody creator, who's driving ambition is always to create a meaningful song. I use bits and pieces of personal experience....like all writers, but mix in current events and important issues of the day to influence my "stories"

Story behind the song
A kind of story that most of us could relate to at some point in our lives. Love taken for granted...then lost. Others around you try to ease your pain, but their efforts can't console the loss you feel inside.
Lyrics
I've tried for weeks now to understand what made me a selfish and foolish man. I didn't listen, took it casually, when you said "change your ways, you're losing me". Looking back now it's plain to see you were right darlin' and I agree. I didn't realize just what you meant to me, Now my friends all say: "Better luck next time, you'll be okay." "The sun will shine on you another day." "You're probably better off anyway." Sorry, I just don't feel that way. "Here's your chance to be free again." "This time around you're bound to win." "Better luck next time", they all say.. Sorry, I just don't feel that way. I called your folks up the other day, said I was sorry things turned out this way. I said I loved you and wanted you to know, I would wait for you. They said, "We wish you could have worked things out." "Atleast there are no kids for you to think about." "It's a shame to see you this way. Then they said to me: "Better luck next time, you'll be okay." "The sun will shine on you another day." "You're probably better off anyway." Sorry, I just don't feel that way. "Here's your chance to be free again." "This time around you're bound to win." "Better luck next time", like they say.. Sorry I just don't feel that way. I took a chance and found your new address. Gathered up my nerve, and you can guess the rest. I drove 'cross town to see your face, at 1035 South Pleasant Place. Pulled into your drive and parked my car. Ran to your door and saw you standing there. You weren't alone and I felt his stare. Then you said to me: "Better luck next time, I'll be okay." "The sun will shine on you another day." "I'm better off without you anyway." Sorry, I just don't feel that way... I turned and walked back to my car, a little slower pace...from 1035 South Pleasant Place.
