Story Song

(album: 360º / The Cloud 9 LP - 2016)

Heaven help me, lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
I'm down on one knee, if you can hear me
Let the truth be told, just how the story goes

It's a story track, tell a story
If I don't, who's gonna tell it for me?
This is heartfelt, it's really that deep
If I shed tears, you can say you saw me

Done with the rumours, the truth and the fact is
Ripped up and chewed us, spat me out, that's it
Started having doubts, thinking maybe I need practice
One of the favourites, but am I still on that list?
Imagine if I didn't have the heart to survive this
Imagine if I didn't kill the devils off my hitlist
I'd be in the mirror, only I can see this
As it shatters and breaks into pieces

Heaven help me, lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
I'm down on one knee, if you can hear me
Let the truth be told, just how the story goes

It's a story track, tell a story
If I don't, who's gonna tell it for me?
This is heartfelt, it's really that deep
If I shed tears, you can say you saw me

And I'm carrying on from where the last verse ended
Maybe I'm wrong but hear the story extended
All of my songs, I never faked or pretended
Treating me wrong and I was highly offended
Tell me why life tends to treat us harsher
How am I feeling sorry for myself and the past?
Out in the open, sounding sparse
Just to put on my life so far
Whole team broke down, bit by bit
Yeah, couple friends hearing of some highness
Couple girls left me, goodbye kiss
It was headline news, just the story hits

It's a story track, tell a story
If I don't, who's gonna tell it for me?
This is heartfelt, it's really that deep
If I shed tears, you can say you saw me

You see, the mirror sees every little thing, every detail
Every time you cheat, every fling, all the new girls
Mirror keeps every little secret, it won't tell
In your room, crying on your own, no help
Yeah, what felt like heaven
Is somehow feeling like hell now
I'll be in the mirror, only I can see this
As it shatters and breaks into pieces

Heaven help me, lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
I'm down on one knee, if you can hear me
Let the truth be told, just how the story goes

It's a story track, tell a story
If I don't, who's gonna tell it for me?
This is heartfelt, it's really that deep
It's a story track, tell a story
