A song written by my sister and I in college, and recorded while I was in grad school, has now been released on Spotify, iTunes and other platforms! Lyrics for the song are below, including our original video recording on YouTube.
Concrete Man
Heart made of concrete
Pair of hands made of stone
Eyes like an ocean
Far away and cold.
Promises you’ve broken
Nothing true, what you said
Vows that you’ve broken and things left unspoken
Are good as dead.
But ooooh
I’ve got a right
To love and be loved.
But ooooh
I’ve got a right
To love and be loved.
I had to realize
Its easier letting go
Building inside a fortress to hide
And finally letting go
When you said
Our hearts will mend
I had a little hope
But now that I’m leaving
You don’t have a reason
To raise my hopes.
But ooooh
I’ve got a right
To love and be loved.
But ooooh
I’ve got a right
To love and be loved.
And I know that you said
I’m sorry (I’m sorry)
And I know that you said
But I had to say, “goodbye.”
