"Cupid's Fall"
Some lyrics I wrote a few years ago, the subject being a young couple's divorce.
"Cupid's Fall"
VERSE ONE:
It's quiet on your side of the bed tonight
As I search my mind for a reason why
Why my heart is feeling so old
Like the very man I was
Has crumbled and turned into dust
And your teardrops have made me into mud
The mud that covered up our love
CHORUS 1x:
And with our vows returned
Cupid's wings were burned
And not a saving grace will catch him
Catch him when he falls
Demon with those angel wings
Hatred does your arrows bring
A hard landing that you deserve
VERSE TWO:
We loved like doves
But we fought like beasts
Clawing at what laid beneath
Inside our churning hearts
Well I guess our challenges were too much
Cupid somehow got out of touch
And what we had is out of reach
BRIDGE 1x:
But who is Cupid to know better,
if he can't see us through bad weather?
We're a job left undone
CHORUS 1x
VERSE THREE:
How we wanted to make it work
But there's little love on this cold earth
And it's not enough to see us through
With no help from the angel of love
Our marriage has turned into mud
And his arrows have scarred our hearts
BRIDGE 1x
CHORUS 1x
BRIDGE 1x
CHORUS 1x
BRIDGE 1x
Any critiques are appreciated; I'll return the favor.
