Story Behind The Song

Songwriter/performer Roy, opens his heart in this touching story of how he decided to call time on his younger girlfriend. Having two children of his own aged 9 and 7 from a previous marriage he isnt sure wether he would like to start another family although he has now met the girl of his dreams. His misguided loyalty makes him call time on the relationship in a martydom sort of way so as to give his girlfriend a chance at enjoying a fulfilling relationship with someone who will be able to give her what she wants - children. Having gone to hell and back over his decision, Roy attempts to reverse it with (thankfully) positive results. They now enjoy and full and fruitful life together.

SAFETY NET

I WISH THAT I KNEW WHY
I SAID THE THINGS I SAID
MOST OF IT WAS A LIE
I THOUGHT ID PROTECT YOU
IT MADE IT SO MUCH WORSE
TO LEAD YOU ALL ASTRAY
SO THAT IS WHY I CAME
TO SORT IT OUT TODAY

BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY
IT WON?T HAPPEN AGAIN
TO MESS YOU IN THAT WAY
WAS CRUEL AND AWFUL
I THOUGHT ID TRY TO GIVE YOUR LIFE
THE SPACE YOU NEEDED TO SURVIVE
I CANT BELIEVE I WAS SO BLIND
I COULD NOT SHAKE YOU FROM MY??MY MIND

I REALISE MY MISTAKE
IS IT TO LATE TO PUT STRAIGHT
I THINK OF ME, I THINK OF YOU
AND ALL THE THINGS I PUT YOU THROUGH
AS TIME WENT BY THE PAIN IT BITES
I KNOW I GOTTA GET IT RIGHT
AND WHAT WOULD BE SO TERRIBLE
TO BE WITH YOU FOR EVERMORE

I BROKE INSIDE
I ALMOST DIED
I GOT IT WRONG
I LOST MY MIND
IM LUCKY TO
HAVE ONE LIKE YOU
I KNOW YOU?LL CATCH ME WHEN I FALL

I DON?T KNOW WHY YOU GAVE ME ONE MORE TRY
I DIDN?T DESERVE ANYTHING?AND

I BROKE INSIDE
I ALMOST DIED
I GOT IT WRONG
I LOST MY MIND
IM LUCKY TO
HAVE ONE LIKE YOU
I KNOW YOU?LL CATCH ME WHEN I FALL

I KNOW THAT YOU WILL CATCH ME WHEN I FALL
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL CATCH ME WHEN I FALL
