Description
This song is about people I’ve loved in my lifetime who have missed out on having a deep, meaningful relationship because of fear of being known. Many thanks to Drak for his taking time to listen, and for his audio editing tips. :-)
I played the guitar into 3 tracks, in 3 different keys, and added a bit of GB strings for effect.

Lyrics
I’ve been dismissed, diminished,
One too many times
I’ve lost the waning hope
You’d be a friend of mine
Each time I asked for honesty
Your pride just slammed the door
You refuse to look at you,
So I won’t anymore
You’ve cultivated thorns around your castle
Women change your life
You don’t need that hassle
How do you feel when you wake up
And there’s no one to talk to
One- sided conversation
Must be enough for you
Break out of your fear
What do you think they want to take from you
Life is meant for living, loving, yes, and giving
I didn’t want your money- I wanted you
If only you could trust, you’d know the truth
You close your heart to love
I know you get lonely
With your ducks all in a row
It’s your structure only
The people who get close enough
Are dismissed summarily
No one gets to know you, except superficially
We can talk about our daily plans
Discuss the weather
Things that lift you up or give you pleasure
But when I asked you to be real
You’d turn your back and run
Waiting for that shoe to drop wasn’t any fun
Break out of your fear
Or do you want to stay there in that place
Life is meant for living, loving, yes, and giving
Giving from the heart might make a dent
You don’t like sacrifice, that’s why you went
I truly wish you happiness
And peace of mind
I’d try to reach you still,
But I won’t waste more time
You’ve made you choice, it’s clear
And now I’m making mine
I’m off to finding friends who
Love and let it shine
I pray you let your anger
And your fear subside
I pray you open up your heart
Stop trying to hide
Perhaps one day you will let go
And let somebody in
What matters now is where you go
Not where you’ve been
Break out, break out of fear
What do you think they want to take from you
Life is meant for living, loving, yes, and giving
Break on out into a better way
There’s really nothing more I want to say
One too many times
I’ve lost the waning hope
You’d be a friend of mine
Each time I asked for honesty
Your pride just slammed the door
You refuse to look at you,
So I won’t anymore
You’ve cultivated thorns around your castle
Women change your life
You don’t need that hassle
How do you feel when you wake up
And there’s no one to talk to
One- sided conversation
Must be enough for you
Break out of your fear
What do you think they want to take from you
Life is meant for living, loving, yes, and giving
I didn’t want your money- I wanted you
If only you could trust, you’d know the truth
You close your heart to love
I know you get lonely
With your ducks all in a row
It’s your structure only
The people who get close enough
Are dismissed summarily
No one gets to know you, except superficially
We can talk about our daily plans
Discuss the weather
Things that lift you up or give you pleasure
But when I asked you to be real
You’d turn your back and run
Waiting for that shoe to drop wasn’t any fun
Break out of your fear
Or do you want to stay there in that place
Life is meant for living, loving, yes, and giving
Giving from the heart might make a dent
You don’t like sacrifice, that’s why you went
I truly wish you happiness
And peace of mind
I’d try to reach you still,
But I won’t waste more time
You’ve made you choice, it’s clear
And now I’m making mine
I’m off to finding friends who
Love and let it shine
I pray you let your anger
And your fear subside
I pray you open up your heart
Stop trying to hide
Perhaps one day you will let go
And let somebody in
What matters now is where you go
Not where you’ve been
Break out, break out of fear
What do you think they want to take from you
Life is meant for living, loving, yes, and giving
Break on out into a better way
There’s really nothing more I want to say
This is easily the finest work you've done to date Sis! Nice chord progression and guitar playing in general. Insightful lyrics. Strong vocal delivery along with beautiful harmonies. Effective minamalist use of background strings. WOW...I could listen to a whole album of this stuff. Keep em coming!
Be well!
