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 June 29, 2020 Songwriter's challenge Sponsored by John Hamilton 1.

Sandra, I'm so glad you followed your muse into the landscape of songwriting, with the tone of heartbreak especially fitting for the Bonnie Raitt genre. I'd love to hear her sing this! Loved the line "just lost a battle / without any war". Congratulations for your win, my friend, and I sincerely hope you try your talented hand at more song lyrics. Hugs ~ John

So glad your muse is singing again, Sandra. Missed you! Hope you are well. As Elton John once said, "Sad songs say so much." So does your song! Congratulations on your winning placement. Prayers and hugs.

Don't know the Bonnie Raitt song, but this looks like a well-written lyric to me. Joy and Light, Gershon

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
