Story Behind The Song

The story is fictional. I tried to write in terms of envisioning a film about the long desription of song.

Song Description

The song is about a woman that is in a long distance relationship with a man who is successful, handsome, etc...He was everything she always wanted in a relationship and thought this was "it". He was Mr Perfect. Until....she finds out he is married. The song deals with her inner battle of whether to confront the man's wife and her regret of being the "other woman", though she never knew he was married. The song is also about her own self respect and shattered feelings.

Lyrics

I'm trying to say

What I need to say

Without lying to myself



He was all of my world

I was his girl

Pictures lined up on my shelf



Then I saw him by chance

And at a second glance

He was wearing a band on his hand



Sleepless nights

I see a faceless wife

With nameless children alone

It's over now

But I don't know how

To say what needs to be told



I can't take any more

I can't take what is yours

I won't take any less than I expect

I confess

He's taken my heart from me

He's taken apart all my dreams

The same dreams he's taken from you



It all makes sense

So many evenings were tense

Eyes drawn to the clock on my wall

Another conference away

Another flight was delayed

Another voice mail when ever I'd call



Promises, Promises

Is all I heard

I believed in every word

Now all I feel

Is the only the real

The pain where I've been burned





I can't take any more

I can't take what is yours

I won't take any less than I expect

I confess

He's taken my heart from me

He's taken my sanity

He's taken apart all my dreams

The same dreams he's taken from you



I can't take any more

I can't take what is yours

I won't take any less than I expect

I confess

He's taken my guard from me

He's taken a heart that bleeds

He's taken apart all my dreams

The same dreams he's taken from you
