If you've ever felt really empty because of something someone else has said or done then this track tries to express that feeling. You've broken every bone/My joy blunted on a stone.
Dedicated to Maija.
YOU WERE NEVER HERE
The clouds come down and touch the sea
The horizon is an absentee
There’s a blank look
On my resting face
I’ve no answers and no strategy
You’ve broken every bone
My joy blunted on a stone
There’s a worry hanging over me
It’s questioning my honesty
Should I be true
To the way I feel
Or do I trade in blasphemy?
I’m hanging on a thread
You’ve cut me and I’ve bled
CHORUS
I can’t imagine ever getting out of here
I’m fading like I’m really going to disappear
Dispute the darkness now that everything is clear
You were never here
You were never here
I’m switching off the universe
Loving you was like a curse
Like a gambler who never wins
Trying harder only made it worse
I’m staring out to sea
Face sure uncertainty
CHORUS
The clouds come down and touch the sea
