about

This song is my attempt at writing a strict 1-4-5 song. I sometimes reject song ideas that are too musically simplistic, this was a deliberate attempt to go against this. I wanted to write an old fashioned romantic song, this was influenced by Buddy Holly and songs of the early 1960’s. The song is supposed to tell the story of a hidden love that is denied and never revealed, leaving the narrator heartbroken at his own restraint.

lyrics

3. Too Bad In Love

Verse 1
You don’t see me crying over you, I’ll do my crying alone.
I don’t wait until I’m in your arms then let it all go.
You won’t see me weepin’ away in the corner alone.
I wait until I feel safe before I let go.

Chorus
And I heard love hurt, too bad, enough.
You’re so sad, I’m not, sad at all.
Some people say I’m not, some people lie when hurt.
So they wait and they’re alone.

Verse 2
And my fear of tears, my minds unclear, why I was crying at all.
I was under the weather, feeling the pressure, I slipped I didn’t let go.
I have no faith to be tested, human nature detested by my one and all.
I’m a heartbeat, you make my heart beat, I just don’t know.

Chorus
And I heard love hurt, too bad, enough.
You’re so sad, I’m not, sad at all.
Some people say I’m not, some people lie when hurt.
So they wait and they’re alone.

Verse 3
So I stand and smile, stare for a short while, then say nothing at all.
I day dream of what could be then watch you go.
If I found a voice I’d make the choice and in love we’d fall.
Then safe in your arms, I would feel, I could cry and let go.

Outro
And I know love hurts.
Too bad, it’s tough.
With you I’m in love.
