Without Any War-- Lyric

I always felt
we would belong
yet now I feel
something is wrong
deep in my heart
alone in this song

i cry out in darkness, reach for your hand
my soul falls broken, unable to stand
i can see through your eyes,  feel all your lies
as this love slowly crumbles away from my side
my heart barely beating, already died

i watch you leave
head for the door
alone in the dark
i drop to the floor
just lost a battle
without any war

i cry out in darkness, reach for your hand
my soul falls broken, unable to stand
i can see through your eyes,  feel all your lies
as this love slowly crumbles away from my side
my heart barely beating, already died

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/29/2020 12:07:00 PM Well composed Sandra, you managed to do it, I wouldn't know where to start. Tom Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 6/29/2020 12:13:00 PM Thank you Tom...the song choices he gave are well known to me so once I listened to just a little of the song the music was stuck in my head... my muse has been silent for months, and I am grateful that she is in the mood to sing... I am sure you could do this no problem because you are good at forms... hugs
