You've Left Today

by Andrew Morton   Jul 9, 2007


---this is a song that I will be submitting to BMI for possible representation...please be brutally honest commenting...theres many concepts to be taken from this song..the title wasn't what i had in mind..but the whole concept is leaving the past..letting go of it (hence the broken road..it changes its perspective during the second verse..as if the past is a seperate entity or being..its more to do with self conflict than with another person so to say...but if you comment, ill be sure to return the favor, thanks---

You've Left Today

i may be heavy hearted
its what i've come to hate
but my life is all about you
strange feelings i dont care for
love is my only weakness
but you seem to give me strength
throughout all of this

though i'm scarred for life
forever bruised by the past
you give me faith in life
that this fighter will last
i'm stubborn as hell
with everything that i feel
so i may as well

CHORUS:
leave you on this broken road
and start driving the other way
leave with your shattered past
so you can live for today
stop and stare at the sun in the sky
dry those eyes and believe
that im leaving today

i see you start to sweat
in the heat of the moment
theres nothing you can do
but the sun will set again
ill be a different man
and im sure by then you'll see
what im going to do

CHORUS:
you left me on this broken road
and drove off in the opposite direction
left me with my shattered past
acting like there was no connection
i stop and stare at the sun in the sky
i dry my eyes and i believe
that you've left today

stop and stare at the sun in the sky
would you stop feeding me lies
take off your disguise
let me open my eyes

CHORUS:
laying here on this broken road
haven't seen a car go by hours
laying here with my shattered past
thinking of just what was ours
im still staring at the sun in the skies
its dried my eyes and i believe
that you've left today

that you've left today x 3

    I think it's a good song.
    Especialy the second chorus was great, I think.
    Good word choice.
    One thing sometimes you did rhyme, sometimes not.
    Besides that I'd love to hear the song when it's finished.
    Take care
