half broken heart / Lyrics
THERE WAS A GIRL ONCE UPON TIME
SHE BROKE HER HEART AND CRIED
THEN SHE MOVED ON WITH HER LIFE
WITH A HALF BROKEN HEART INSIDE
IT´S ONLY LOVE THAT EVER MATTERS
THERE´S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
THERE´S ONLY ONE TRUTH
WITH A HALF BROKEN HEART
YOU CAN ONLY SAVE THE LITTLE PART
THAT´S LEFT THERE FOR YOU
THERE WAS A BOY ONCE UPON A TIME
HE JUST TRIED TO LIVE HIS LIFE
THE BOY HAD PRIDE BUT WAS SAD INSIDE
´COS LOVE BEAT HIM UP WITH OUT A FIGHT
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THINGS WHERE BETTER THAN FINE
THEY HAD LOVE AND GAVE EACH OTHER TIME
LOVE IS BLIND NOT EASY TO GUIDE
AND SOMETIMES SO HARD TO FIND
Half broken heart
Hello!
Well, to start with something I must admit that this is another pretty important and meaningful day in my musical life since the first release 11 weeks ago. And I feel really good! 🤗
I don’t know why but this song’s history reminds me somehow of a butterfly with it’s different phases. #metamorphosis
It was somewhere around 2005-2006 or so and I think I had the song already quite ready as a scruffy demo but as a totally different kind of a version. Yet I guess most of the puzzle pieces were there in a way and I kinda knew it.
At the time life wasn’t that OK or let’s say that at least there were some turbulence in life’s different divisions and the ride was a bit bumpy what it comes to professional and private lives occasions. And that´s life and so be it.🤠
Well, many things happened both in private and professional lives and the song was left there and got buried with a loads of stuff, time and endless amount of other priorities and activities.
Then the Spring 2020 came and life was all of a sudden different on many levels. I suddenly remembered this song ’cos once in a while during all the years I had bumped onto the old demo. I had always liked it a lot and now decided to give it some more care and attention.
And after some serious CPR and heavy use of a defibrillator it truly came alive as an old piece of music in a totally new form. Don’t know why but somehow I knew immediately that I was on the right track. So here we are now and it is out there spreading its wings.
❤️🙏🤗
Take care and enjoy the Spring!! -RR
Ps. Check out the song and spread the news if you already haven’t! 😉
