Lyrics

I take a drink to numb the pain,
You'll take a while to love again,
What I did was so wrong,
I know I'll have hurt you for so long,
What can I do to make it up to you?
What can I do to make it right?
I hope you know my apology is true,
But I know that you've already given up the fight....

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make it right?
I know what I did was not worth it!
I know what I said caused the fight!
What can I say to make you feel me?
What can I say to break the cold?
How many times must I apologise?
Or is what we had already long gone?

I look at you,
Remember the times,
That we shared,
They were so right!
Look in the mirror,
What have I become?
I'm a mess, a waste,
What have I done?

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make it right?
I know what I did was not worth it!
I know what I said caused the fight!
What can I say to make you feel me?
What can I say to break the cold?
How many times must I apologise?
Or is what we had already long gone?

Why did I.....
Make you cry?
All I had to do.....
Was eternally love you!

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make it right?
I know what I did was not worth it!
I know what I said caused the fight!
What can I say to make you feel me?
What can I say to break the cold?
How many times must I apologise?
Or is what we had already long gone?

I take a drink to numb the pain...
You'll take a while to love again...

Description

A slow piano riff starts the song, it is simple and relaxing. The tune is played on a low scale with the odd higher pitched note thrown in almost at random. The short loop continues four or five times, and then a very quiet guitar loop is played. The guitar is only a secondary piece, and the piano still leads the song into the first verse. The piano becomes incredibly intricate as the first verse starts; the guitar stays only to hold the rhythm. Sammy’s vocals are very soft, barely more than a whisper as he sings the first verse.

Suddenly he slams on the keys and belts out the chorus. The guitar part is harder, becoming more of a strummed tune than the rhythm part. The piano piece is fast and as intricate as before, but the guitar really leads the chorus more than the piano. Sammy pleads to the listeners, pleads for them to feel the way that he feels allowing the listeners to connect with the lyrics more.

Sammy starts the second verse; it is much the same as the first except his vocals are louder now. The piano tune slows down a bit now, and is a little louder now. The guitar reverts to back to holding the rhythm again. Then the chorus comes back around and is exactly the same as the first. This leads straight into the bridge. The piano play becomes a lot louder and more complex, as does the guitar tune. The two tunes mix perfectly with Sammy’s pleading vocals, and his voice fades out.

Slowly, the piano picks up again out of the silence as Sammy starts the final chorus. The piano gets to its high point and the guitar suddenly kicks in and the strings are thrashed at, making a loud and conclusive ending to the song. After the chorus finished, his voice fades out with the final strum of the guitar. He quietly sings the final two lines of the song, and sighs as the lyrics end.

Julia: The lyrics of this song turned me on, despite it is a sad song, I don't know, it just feel like you are desiring the love back so bad with all your strength, it's sexy and sweet.
