Heart of Steel

Playback (2/20/24)

I lied today a lot about you

I lie down with these old memories

For them I wish to bury

You, to just forget

I remember there were diamonds in my eyes

Because she was on my mind

Pearls around my neck

Jewels and diamonds

Don't haunt me like you

Take me back

For just one night

I'd ask her to dance

I confess I'd confess

And leave with a memory

Of diamonds in my eyes

As I missed the time

Your fury

You should've buried

For just one night

That night

Does it haunt you, sometimes?

Take yourself back

See my smile in a distant crowd

Fast forward to now

You see the same face

In the life without you

In distant crowds

In foreign lands

Shaking the hands of the people I never thought I would meet

Alone without you

Everything with a smile

Just to forget, for a while

Sometimes I want to go back

Just one night

To that night

Our ballgowns and crowns

Red wine and rose champagne

Raise a glass to this

I wanted to see you smile

I wanted you to sing along

I wanted you to listen

I wanted to be free

You wanted me

You wanted everything

We wanted that night

For that night is merely a memory

I know you aren't quick to

Forget me

But I wish you would

Sometimes I decorate myself

Shining with diamonds and rose champagne

I remember the pain

Raise a glass

To the past I wish to forget

I lied about the past today

To banish this burden is unimaginable

They say anything is possible 

I thought about forgiveness 

I thought about what I have missed 

I thought about my freedom 

And what I missed that night 

An end to a friend 

An old friend 

All good things come to an end 

I lied about forgiveness 

Compromise and delicate eyes 

I never will rewind 

Push playback and listen

Because today I lied

I thought about it

I thought about forgiveness

I thought about you

How maybe I was wrong

Too young

Too pretty

In love

If I lie about forgiveness

I lie to myself

For forever ago we shall forget

Push playback and remember

Why we are devoid

Of each other.
