Lyrics

Why must I hide how I really feel
When all I want to do is not to live a lie
In this place that I call my home
Those supposed to love me
Say that I must find my own

I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Loved by you as I have til now
I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Love by you as I have til now

Without my home, I am lost again
And feeling like a ship adrift at sea
On a stormy night
Trying to find my way to you
But the waves of doubt
Prevent me from getting home

I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Loved by you as I have til now
I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Love by you as I have til now

You said you'd be there for me through thick and thin
and that your love for me was ocean deep
If I mean that much how can you turn your back on me
Are you scared of what your friends might say
are you ashamed of me

I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Loved by you as I have til now
I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Love by you as I have til now

I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Loved by you as I have til now
I thought that you loved me
Thought I'd always be
Love by you as I have til now

Has a nice melodic vibe to it

Great arrangement ! Backing vocals and harmonies give the chorus a great lift .

Excellent vocal and vibe. Really solid performance. The lyrics are good...could be great if there was a bit more clarity. Is "home" just a metaphor for being together, are you at home now? Away from home? The progression could be a bit clearer. I'd also try to avoid cliches like thick and thin, turn your back, etc., and find new ways to say the same thing. That would really make it shine. That said, excellent. I'd like to hear more of your work.

Nice and clean recording... Like the vibe. and over all good song.....
nice harmony

You have a very good longing, melancholy, haunting tune that is easy to follow. The tune in the chorus has a nice bounce to it. I like the vulnerable, insecure lyrics, but what keeps the lyrics from being victimized is the up front honesty. Lyrically, it fits the mood of the tune, as do the steady beats in the chorus. Orchestral emphasis is very well placed. I also like the change of keys towards the end.

I loved the overall feel and message of the song. The story could be stronger with more furniture.

Nice vocals. I like the interposing vocals in the chorus. The piano sounds nice, as do the synth pads.

Could be in the top 5 songs on here. lyrics are really powerful tells a great story, Vocals compliment the lyrics very believable felt the emotion close to my heart. Instrumentation is incredible. Piano perfect!!!!! Hook is great what else can I say. A movie should jump all over this.

Very nice good lyrics & harmonies

Very polished sound, nice mix. Great vocals and harmonies. Certainly easy listening in a good way.

The singer reminds me of the late Michael Jackson. I think the harmony is nice and the recording quality works well.

good vocals.

I like the lead vocals and the sound of the piano - I also like the arrangement. Sounds a little like Maroon Five.

A sad love lost song, that portrays a broken heart very well. The background vocals raises goosebumps.

I enjoyed it.....well done......

the song has very nice feel. Good vocals and mix of instruments. Good build in the arrangement. good backing vocals. effective use of orchestration. nice key change to keep in more interesting.

Quite original, nice vocal oyt front. nice structure
