Songs: Breaking up

This song is representative of just being trapped within a life of conformity and unleashing your inner most desire to go out into the world and do what you've always wanted to... regardless of who is holding you back...evening if it means letting go of a love. Although this may not be characterized as the typical break-up song because it almost seems as though neither one of the couple is really ready to let go...but really when are we prepared for a break-up?

The light is still burning,
it's so reassuring,
the note on the bed,
full of all the things she never said,
of loving and loathing and all in between,
insignificant messages of intimate meaning.

He awakens the night,
only to find out,
oh, lord where's she gone?
as he angrily cries out,
do you know if our love just innocently died out?
or faded like the tide on the way out?

Chorus
Our names in the tree,
forever there'll be,
through the storms and the rain,
and the whims of the insane,
as long as the stars in the infinite sky still remain,
I'll be waiting in the bright of day

The leaving town sign in the back of her head,
as far as he knows all the memories are spent,
supremacy grandeur and all their love meant,
was lost in the rain,
like the whims of the insane.

Chorus

No girl in a miniskirt looking to get some,
no daddy's girl, bad girl, no biker babe needs him,
just a struggling artist in the city of dreams,
who left him that night for the limelighting beams.

    "A Letter To Him."

    There is a woman's hand,

    Cramped for space.
