LYRICS: Sorry For Your Loss [2004]

 SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

With deep regret, I apologise
For coming here to waste your time
You tell me to get back in line
And say this don’t come easy

I don’t expect you to empathise
With the burning heart beneath my lies
But the vision you don’t recognise
Is one that don’t come easy

I don’t need you to tell me
How you can’t live without me
If there’s just one thing about me
It’s that which makes me stronger

As throne and crown were sold for parts
You cut me down and broke my heart
And threw me back right to the start
And say this don’t come easy

The scaling-down was oh-so kind
But I’ve been here, I’ve read your mind
Do you think I could be so blind?
Believing that is easy

I don’t need you to tell me
How you can’t live without me
If there’s just one thing about me
It’s that which makes me stronger

All I have to do is tell myself
I don’t need you and then I’ll be fine
All you have to do is write it down
And sprint onward while I get left behind

So you sit there and prioritise
A set of answers analysed
The process here was rationalised
To say this comes so easy

So if all is gone and I’m denied
Then I won’t sit here mesmerised
You pulled me down beneath the tide
And reversing that ain’t easy

I don’t need you to tell me
How you can’t live without me
If there’s just one thing about me
It’s that which makes me stronger

Can’t you hear me? ’Cos I’m screaming.
I’m screaming your name. I’m screaming your name.

Reside here
Abide here
I’m right here…
