Never Will Be

[Verse 1] Traveled the world, chasing the lights, Toasted the towns on those faraway nights. The price of the show, how things had to be, The crowds grew loud, but the silence grew on me. [Pre-Chorus] Thinking of you, dreaming of home, Glory feels empty when you're all alone. But I couldn’t quit, addicted to fame, Blinded by pride, I couldn’t feel your pain. [Chorus] The sun always rose, but it hid the dark nights, I got lost in the music, forgot our fights. The band became family, but you were far away, Another night’s concert, and I'd call it a day. I couldn’t see, I couldn't see... I was writing love that would never be. [Verse 2] The stage lights faded, the crowds moved on, Another lonely city, another empty song. You begged me come home, said "It won’t be long," But I kept running, like I was always wrong. [Pre-Chorus] Thinking of you, dreaming of home, Glory feels empty when you’re left alone. But I couldn’t quit, addicted to fame, Blinded by pride, I couldn’t feel your pain. [Chorus] The sun always rose, but it hid the dark nights, I got lost in the music, forgot our fights. The band became family, but you were far away, Another night’s concert, and I'd call it a day. I couldn’t see, I couldn't see... I was writing love that would never be. [Bridge] You begged me to come home, I turned my back, Chasing a dream that I couldn’t take back. When the world called, I answered too loud, But when you needed me, I was lost in the crowd. And now the echoes are all I hear, A voice in the distance, so far, so near... [Chorus] The sun always rose, but it hid the dark nights, I got lost in the music, forgot our fights. The band became family, but you were far away, Another night’s concert, and I'd call it a day. I couldn’t see, I couldn't see... I was writing love that would never be. [Outro] Now you’re gone, and I’m still chasing the sound, But it’s too late for love that can’t be found. I was writing love that never will be... Writing love that never will be.

Sometimes its all too easy to forget the things in life that need our focus, our attention and our love the most, and that is the people closest to us ... Though a tough subject to write about, you still penned this in such a beautiful way, Lyric Man.

A heart felt poem. I am so sorry about the choice that tore your love apart. I can feel all the emotions on both sides. You described it very well. Since I was once married to a musician I can understand this poem. I wish you only the best. I will keep you in my prayers.

A very emotional verse Dave, you were torn between the two, when we look back we realise that sometimes we made the wrong choice in our path, but we all make mistakes in our lives. Hope you are well. Tom

A heart being filled with so many emotions, sometimes finds it difficult to feel the most important one. Never allow your mind to take you to a dark place, and stay. Your thoughts touch me deeply. I am here for you. ~ Brandy
