Break My Heart

I haven't written in while...sorry about that.

Eric and I went into the recording studio tonight to work on a song we wrote a few months ago called "Break My Heart." I showed up, the day we wrote it, with the first two lines of the song. It was an idea I'd had one day while sitting at the stoplight at the corner of Lealand Ln. and Woodmont Blvd. I had no idea what the words meant or what direction we'd take the song. All I had was, "It's a little bit lonely standing where I am."

Anyway, the song turned out beautifully. It's the story of a broken dream. Sometimes my dreams seem so incredibly out of reach. And today was one of those extremely overwhelming days where you kinda forget what you're working for...and you wonder why you're trying so hard.

So it was appropriate that we pulled this song out of the closet tonight and brought it a little bit of life. It's not done. But I'm loving where it's going so I can't wait for you to hear it.

Break My Heart
Lindsey Jones/Eric Vinson

It's a little bit lonely
Standing where I am
Maybe never stood a chance
But gave it everything I had
What was once a dream
Is nothing but a hope
All I ever wanted
Felt so close

But why'd you have to break my heart
Why'd you have to break my heart

It's colder in the shadows
More painful in the dark
Scared of all the noises
But the door is locked
Could've knocked me to the ground
Hit me where it hurts
Anything but this
Would have been easier

Why'd you have to break my heart
Why'd you have to break my heart
