Since everyone else shared their songs, I'll share my song from the duet round.
It's called "Love Again". I wrote the song, as a girl who just lost the love of their life. I wrote it with the inspiration that the male lover was killed suddenly in a tragedy and she's unable to love again because she's still holding on to him. The male is the spirit trying to tell his loved one that it's okay for her to love again, and he'd much rather have her loving someone else being happy than trapped in her misery. I will defend the "vile" line, because in that context, I know I wanted to throw up when I found out my grandpa passed away. I felt like there was something in my stomach and I was so uneasy about it that I thought it fit in perfectly.
I like that GotSkill was able to interpret it as someone who just got out of a relationship, and that the male wants the girl to move on with life. I never thought of it to be about that but I'm glad it was able to make sense in that way!
Quote:
Verse One (Singer #1):
Why did you have to leave so soon?
They say all tragedies in life must happen for a reason
Why oh why, did it have to happen to you?
I miss the warmth of your touch
And the welcome in your smile
I feel like a thief stole you away from me
Makes me feel all too vile
Chorus One (Singer #1):
And I just wish you could have stayed
You were the mighty castle walls defending me
As soon as you left, they just crumbled away
These little spaces, once filled by your hands
Will always have this empty void
Never will I be able to love another man
Never will I be able to love again
With all this pain and all this misery
Never will I be able to love again
Verse Two (Singer #2):
My darling, there’s no need for you to cry
I may not be there to hold you in my arms
But I will love you forever, I promise you with no lies
Gone now, but I won’t be forgotten
As time moves on we will be reunited
Save your tears for another moment
Although it must be so hard to fight it
Chorus Two (Singer #2):
And I would have done anything to stay
Continue to be the mighty castle walls that defend you
I would have never let them crumble away
But your little spaces, once filled by my hands
Don’t always have to be this empty void
I won’t ever be hurt, if you choose to love another man
I want you to be able to love again
I can’t watch you live in pain and misery
I want you to be able to love again
Bridge:
Singer #1:
How am I suppose to love, when you were my forever
Singer #2:
Don’t let me hold you back, one day we’ll be back together
Singer #1:
How do I live, with a man that isn’t you?
Singer #2:
You have to move on, you deserve all the happiness too
Singer #1:
How can I love again?
Singer #2:
Don’t be afraid to love again
Chorus Three (Singer #1):
And I just wish you could have stayed
You were the mighty castle walls defending me
As soon as you left, they just crumbled away
These little spaces, once filled by your hands
Will always have this empty void
Never will I be able to love another man
Never will I be able to love again
With all this pain and all this misery
Never will I be able to love again
Singer #2:
Baby I just want you to love again
