about

A song about yearning for the day when a break up stops hurting and the pain heals

lyrics

Hello again my only friend
Now we're all alone so why pretend
Close your eyes, embrace me, hold me close
The pain subsides, no more lies

Another winding road has reached the end
Another hurt my aching soul must mend
I can always count on you my loneliness
Hello again my only friend

Why does every little thing
Have to be so complicated
Chase a dream, make a wish, break a heart
Life is what you make it

Falling down is never easy
When there's no-one there to lift you up
But the victory tastes sweeter
When the struggle is twice as tough

The summers gone and the cold dark clouds come rolling in
The winds of change have found me once again
I'm standing on my own two feet
Dust me down, I won't be beat
Turn the page and make a brand new start, yeah

Waiting for the rain to wash my tears away
Wipe away the memories from my heart
I'm standing on my own two feet
Dust me down, I won't be beat
Waiting for the rain to fall again, yeah

Hello again my only friend
Been driving down this road since god knows when
Roll the dice, we'll play this game again
Cold as ice, we've reached the waters edge, yeah

Is it something only I can see?
The paradox that burns inside of me
Every day feels like the one you went away
Hello again my only friend

I still feel your gentle touch
Upon my burning skin
Your eyes, your smile, your soul
Buried deep within

I hear your voice echo round my head
Can't take another day
Gonna raise my arms
Up to the sky and pray

The summers gone and the cold dark clouds come rolling in
The winds of change have found me once again
I'm standing on my own two feet
Dust me down, I won't be beat
Turn the page and make a brand new start, yeah

Waiting for the rain to wash my tears away
Wipe away the memories from my heart
I'm standing on my own two feet
Dust me down, I won't be beat
Waiting for the rain to fall again, yeah

Waiting for the rain to wash my fears away
The world I shared with you will fall apart
The road is dark, the clouds are grey
I'll live to love another day
Turn the page and make a brand new start, yeah

Hey

Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain to fall on me
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain to fall on me

Hello again my only friend
Close your eyes
No more lies
