Story Behind The Song
My parents have always had a shakey relationship, and often times I would fantasize about what my mother would say to my father if she ever truly reached that level of not being able to handle things anymore. The song is written from her imagined perspective.
Song Description
It's a slow-paced almost country-like electronic song about a person's emotions regarding a depleting relationship. The feelings border dance on the edge of being suicidle.

Lyrics
Well I can?t believe that another day?s gone by.
And little did I know that I?m still alive.
And sometimes I think that the world?s gone crazy,
Until I realize we all hate ourselves.
I wonder why I have this feeling. . .
Chorus:
Until our eyes meet and the truth reveals itself.
Funny how I want to die.
Out of sympathy I reach for your hand,
But all this guilt in having to be, dies when our eyes meet.
I wonder why people think you?re perfection.
You never offered forgiveness for your shame.
I wake every morning to serve you,
Is my disgust in you something that I am to blame?
I wonder why I believe this feeling. . .
Chorus
Funny how life brings us such uncertainty.
I thought this was something to live for.
I never doubted your feelings for me,
I just knew love was always missing.
And when our eyes meet the truth reveals itself.
Funny how I want to die.
Out of sympathy I reach for your hand,
But all this guilt in having to be, dies when our eyes meet.
