I Think Lyrics Can Say It Better Than Words

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD0vcAwHN7s

When I listen to this song, I get butterflies.
It is so beautifully written, it summons back memories of my past and how I've managed to be where I am today. Not to mention his voice is incredibly enchanting. I connect very deeply with his music. It is simply an art form.

The lyrics are as follows:

[center]What if I can't be all that you need me to be
We've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep
But my addiction it can be such a detriment
Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent

What if everything's just the way that it will be
Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief
My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart
And my aim is steady and true as it's been right from the start

There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories
[b]If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
[/b]
So when we leave it'll be a quick midnight escape
We'll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday
I'll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well
Then we'll throw our coins down hoping to rid us of this little hell

There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories.
[b]If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all[/b]

Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell[/center]

I have put my favorite line in [b]bold[/b].

This line is a metaphor and it constantly reminds me to take a good, long, hard look at myself in the mirror and remember my past, but not to hold onto it. The 'addiction' Dallas Green refers to in the first few lines, is his addiction to sadness. I'm just glad that I can look past all of my mistakes and be hopeful of my growing future, not only in wealth and status, but my personal growth as well.

I hope you enjoy listening, he does have a beautiful voice and an empathetic way with words.
