Lyrics
[Intro | Sparse fingerpicked guitar | Soft room ambience | Vintage folk lament | Very slow and intimate]
[Verse 1 | Intimate, restrained vocal | Almost spoken | Fragile phrasing | Bare guitar only]
Can’t articulate my feelings love,
You are gone and,
I’m wilting within the loss,
Your lips are blue,
No reciprocal kissing,
Your love, forever now, the part that I’m missing,
[Chorus | Gentle melodic lift | Soft strings enter | Aching, controlled vocal | Never belted]
Why does my heart bleed so?
Why did you have to go?
Just out of reach,
Something I can’t keep,
Death is the thief,
To love in life,
Is to slow dance with grief,
It wouldn’t be worth reaping,
If the love we had wasn’t worth keeping.
[Verse 2 | Keep sparse | Vintage folk storytelling | Slightly fuller harmony | Soft piano begins underneath]
One minute I’m fine,
The next I’m not,
Singing soliloquies,
Picking forget-me-nots,
I’m not a quitter,
Yet the loneliness has me bitter,
[Chorus | More emotional | Strings deepen softly | Vocal remains restrained | Gentle harmony underneath final lines]
Why does my heart bleed so?
Why did you have to go?
Just out of reach,
Something I can’t keep,
Death is the thief,
To love in life,
Is to slow dance with grief,
It wouldn’t be worth reaping,
If the love we had wasn’t worth keeping.
[Verse 3 | Piano and violin joins fingerpicked guitar | Bleak blue-grey atmosphere | Mournful and poetic | Slightly wider vocal melody]
The break of dawn,
Blessed a brand new day,
My heart is broke and weeps dismay,
My world is sombre,
In swathes of blue and hues of grey,
How am I supposed to live this way?
[Chorus | Deepest grief | Strings bloom softly | Vocal close to breaking | Emotional peak without belting]
Why does my heart bleed so?
Why did you have to go?
Just out of reach,
Something I can’t keep,
Death is the thief,
To love in life,
Is to slow dance with grief,
It wouldn’t be worth reaping,
If the love we had wasn’t worth keeping.
[Bridge | Dreamlike and distant | Almost hymn-like | Soft acceptance | Floating strings | Airy vocal]
Beyond the horizon,
Through shadow and twilight,
To the furthest star shining so bright,
I know you hold vigil over me in life,
[Final Chorus | Strip instrumentation back | Fragile reflective vocal | Guitar and faint piano only | Tender unresolved ending]
But still I ask,
Will my heart bleed slow?
Where you’ve gone, can I someday follow?
Within reach,
With you to keep?
Love is warmth succumbed to grief,
[Outro | Hold final vocal gently | Sparse guitar resonance | Strings fade in softly then disappear | Leave silence at the end]
