Lyrics

Deep in My Soul [Verse 1] I look at you, from across the room Are you thinking of me, I can’t assume Silence surrounds us, another messed up night Sorry, I can’t explain, about my past-life fight [Verse 2] I’ve tried my best, to bury the past You deserve more, a love that will last Turned the page, said I’d be fine But ghosts don’t die, they just redefine [Pre Chorus] I try to move on, I try to be whole But, I’m holding onto, unfinished business, in my soul [Chorus] This isn’t fair, you didn’t do the crime But I see his face, in you, every time This ghost, demands so much power Should love you whole, but I cower Fighting a memory, not playing the victim Loving you, while haunted by him Yeah…loving you, while haunted by him [Chorus] This isn’t fair, you didn’t do the crime But I see his face, in you, every time This ghost, demands so much power Should love you whole, but I cower Fighting a memory, not playing the victim Loving you, while haunted by him Yeah…loving you, while haunted by him [Verse 3] My words, are bruises I can’t hide Loving you, with him inside Why does every, I love you, echo wrong He’s a ghost of the past, this is Your song [Pre Chorus] Stand by me, please be strong You’re in my heart, it’s where you belong And I know… [Chorus] This isn’t fair, you didn’t do the crime But I see his face, in you, every time This ghost, demands so much power Should love you whole, but I cower Fighting a memory, not playing the victim Loving you, while haunted by him Yeah…loving you, while haunted by him I need to cast him out, get back what he stole I promise, I love you..so deep in my soul I love you…deep in my soul…

I was very much identifying with the elements of the past maybe sabotaging the future. Then you took it much more deeply with the chorus, fleshed out the hurt and pain of the situation. I like that your last pre-chorus is a request and an implicit need of help but also a promise of the narrator doing their best to move forward. Strong emotive elements in this lyric.

This is an awesome song about carrying hurt history. The struggle is real and if Love is the cure we seem to get caught in a chicken egg scenario. Love is hard to communicate connection seems a frustration. Persevere hurt s like an airlock in a pump prime it with love till the bubbles escape.
