Story Behind The Song
I was with a man that wanted me to quit music to be with him fully and I realized even though I loved him more than words, I wouldn't be happy in a situation like that. To be asked to give up something you love is not what love should be about.

Lyrics
He'll love you as long as you sing and as tall as you stand on the lovely land. You wonder if he'll go away the one day you're not looking. And still when you hang your head with the loneliness you'll forget he's there. Why did it come to this?
Just when you thought there was nobody there, he became aware noticed you were scared. And who said you weren't allowed to be so proud of what came your way on this lovely day.
I sang the blues. I paid my dues. Still feel abused but who said it mattered anyway. Wrote these words before, never felt them more. Whoever hears them is the only one you should ignore.
He sleeps without waking. You'd know if he was up and your heart it keeps taking, noticing it was all a bluff. And he sleeps without waking, you'd know if he was up and your heart it keeps breaking, noticing it was all a bluff.
I paid my dues. I sang the blues. Still feel abused but who said it mattered anyway. Wrote these words before, never felt them more. Whoever hears them is the only one you should explore.
He sleeps without waking, you'd know if he was up. And your heart it keeps breaking, noticing.
