Shattered - by Lewis Bowen

Показать описание

And so the third and final version of this song has been made! Thought I'd give it the re-remaster that it really deserves, and this time it was made again completely from scratch! Better lyrics, different instruments and a whole new arrangement are just some of the new things you'll get with this re-imagining of one of my personal favourite compositions :)

Any feedback is always welcome, and if you'd like more songs coming your way, support me by subscribing and liking this video!

Lyrics (new and improved!):

(verses 1 and 2)
I wish it was easy
To take it all away
To let my heart pour out
And let the world turn gray

A life of hardship
A wall I cannot pass
This pain is sharper
Than a shard of broken glass

(1st bridge)
And all the feelings getting colder
Until my joy is cold as ice
We can spend our time just growing older
Some of us have love to feel, and some must pay the price

(chorus)
As time goes by
(should I go on)
Walking in the shadows of yesterday
I'm asking why?
(do I have to feel this way)
Just like shards of broken glass, the pain will never fade away...

(verses 3 and 4)
It's all I long for
A time of no regret
I've waited oh so long
But it isn't over yet

Someone to care for
A life I can defend
To fill my heart again
A feeling with no end

(2nd bridge)
No more looking back over my shoulder
No need to stand under the rain
I know she'll be there so I can hold her
But will she really care for me, or leave me once again?

(chorus)
As time goes by
(should I go on)
Walking in the shadows of yesterday
I'm asking why?
(do I have to feel this way)
Just like shards of broken glass, the pain will never fade away...

(3rd bridge)
Can't you remind me who I am
Knowing time goes on, it can't be erased
Oh, and I know things hardly ever go to plan
But destiny has put me in my place

(verses 5 and 6)
It's never easy
To make a final stand
Against those feelings
that were never really planned

So tell me where you were
when my world faded to gray
I must have been a fool to think
The pain would go away

(final bridge)
Do you long to please me?
To ease my shattered mind?
or are you the darkness making light so hard to find?

(chorus)
As time goes by
(should I go on)
Walking in the shadows of yesterday
I'm asking why?
(do I have to feel this way)
Just like shards of broken glass, the pain will never fade away...
(I am shattered)
As time goes by
(should I go on)
A broken heart to heal, gets harder to conceal
I'm asking why?
(do I have to feel this way)
I'm shattered deep inside and I'll always be!

(outro)
So time goes by
Making people think that they've found love
I'd ask you why
But my broken heart is hurting quite enough...
I am shattered
