Oh, How I Adore This Song

Heartfelt Lies - Ron Pope

I walk by the river's edge

Skipping smooth wet stones

& watching them sink

I never was a fan of innocence

I've got two black eyes

& an empty fifth of gin

& I see I'm wrong for you

But we tried

You swear im hard to lay beside

If I was you i'd run from me most nights

Maybe I was meant to be left behind

Thundering circumstances

Beyond our control rumble in

Counting time by the lines 'round your eyes

As your gentle caress helps me forget

& I think it's time to say good night

& you swear im hard to lay beside

Now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes

Maybe I was meant to be left behind

But all of our heartfelt lies

All of our heartfelt lies (x2)

Are not enough this time

& I say I'd love to spend the night

But you found someone else to lay beside

& I know it makes sense

But it's like sand in my eyes

Maybe I was meant to be left behind

I absolutely, positively love this song. It's very mellow, but I just adore it. It's sad, though. Most of the time, it actually makes me cry. But that's mainly because, right now more than ever, I feel every word of that song. I feel it deeply. It's so beautiful and so relateable. He's actually quite a good artist whom I'd reccomend any day. "A Drop In The Ocean" is another good song of his.
