Lyrics
Jeckle & Hyde
Lyrics by: Catherine Carney-Richman
Music by Catherine Carney-Richman and Marc Vuksonovic
(Intro)
Why does my heart pang?
What?s it about you that haunts me?
Why can?t I break free
of this tainted fantasy?
(Verse)
I wake up to this hell
I?m walking on egg shells
Wondrin when you?ll cross that line again
I?m trapped inside this place
A place that I know well
A hypervigilant holding cell
(Pre-Chorus)
Its hard to love you riddled Gemini
First your Jeckle
Then your Hyde
I tried and tried and tried to deny
But black and blues of heart and soul don?t lie
Yet they hide behind
(Chorus)
Painted smiles
In a war-torn love
That remain to hide my pain
Oh Gemini I?m crumbling down and
Waiting for you to kill your evil twin.
(Intro)
A zealous love affair
or a masochistic endeavor?
Why I am your captive?
Why are you so clever?
(Verse)
I just can?t break free
You made me frail and weak
When I let you take control of me
But now I?m taking back
The things I gave away
That?s left me in this pit of rage
(Pre-Chorus)
Its hard to love you riddled Gemini
First your Jeckle
Then your Hyde
I?ve tried and tried to walk away
But then you beg me on your hands and knees to stay
And you know you?ll get your way with your
(Chorus)
Painted smiles
And your soft glowing eyes
That bewitch me every time
(Chorus-bridge)
Yes I hold on
I always surrender
Into your arms
So warm and tender
Oh Gemini I?m on my final leg
Praying for you to kill your evil twin.
(Bridge)
Oooooh
Oooooh
(Verse)
No matter how I tried
You?de break me every time
Like a howling dog outside
I?m sick of all this fear
You drained me of my tears
Your chains on me are
Melting down
(Pre-Chorus)
Its times to leave you riddled Gemini
I see your Jeckle?s ruled by Hyde
And yet I?ll always yearn for you
And hold on to the crazy love we once shared
And I?ll continue to wear
(Chorus)
Painted smiles
Once in a while
As a token
Of our good times
When we were young
In those days of sun
when we were on our own little planet
You?ll always keep a part of me
And though we?ll be a part our love will remain.
Goodbye . . .
Gemini . . . .
With Painted Smiles . . .
