Lonely Year

from The Life Since by Paul Piper

lyrics

It's been a lonely year, I'm so happy that it's over
It was about 6 months ago, I questioned my love
I knew I wasn't fine In losing my reality
It was a good 6 months ago I pushed my love away

Born again
New in my skin
(I saw inside myself and it is not what I wanted)
Born Again
New in my skin

It's been a lonely year (I know so well)
And I am responsible (I know it too well)
I hurt you
I hurt myself too

(Better, all beautiful, feather arms, feather soul)

So much change (I know it so well)
But change is repairable (I know it so well)
If it brings us back better it is worth all our tears

BORN AGAIN
New in my skin
(I saw inside myself and it is not what I wanted)
BORN AGAIN
New in my skin

...I needed to say something but I swallowed it deep inside
Make a choice they said, decide!
But I was destroyed
You said it was like being haunted by a ghost
And you were right, I was floating away somewhere
I was gone..

Can say it now
I got it wrong
I cut myself
I cut it long
I flew right into the sun
If I get it deep then I'll emerge as no one

BORN AGAIN (I should have let you die)
New in my skin
(I saw inside myself and it is not what I wanted)
BORN AGAIN (I should have let you die)
New in my skin (yeah I should have let you die)

It's been a lonely year (You know me too well)
I'm glad to see the back of it (You know me too well)
It was around 6 months ago I questioned my love

I should have let you die.
