Between a Rock and a Hard Place

[Intro]
Walking on eggshells, shadows in my mind
Lost between the rocks, the hard place I find
Echoes of her footsteps, haunting every thought
Questioning my worth, wondering what I sought

[Verse 1]
Year of '85, love was like a flame
Burning deep inside, never feeling shame
She walked on ground that I adored
Madly in love, but love’s a sword

[Pre-Chorus]
Took a fall, for her safety, took the blame
Thought the change would come, end the pain
But the nights grew colder, words turned to stones
Carrying this burden, heart of broken bones

[Chorus]
Between a rock and a hard place, I stand
Loving her still, with trembling hands
Shattered heart, fallen apart
Lost in darkness, tears start to start

[Bridge]
Winter of pain, she turned away
Left me broken, lost in shadows’ sway
A knife in her hand, my spirit she tore
Now I wonder what I’m living for

[Outro]
Walking through the cold, hiding my scars
A love so bitter, leaving invisible marks
Between a rock and a hard place, I remain
Echoes of love, whispers of pain

Blues rock, soulful vocals, acoustic guitar, emotional and gritty mood
