Heartstrings Lyrics
Watching as you sleep so easy
wonder why
i'm wide awake
and left alone shaking
satisfy me need and desire
still i cry
paralyzed, our love tearing me apart
i love you more each day
i love the music you play on my heartstrings
i feel you in every way
reach for touch
you play on my heartstrings
we used to awake into morning
time stood still
i slept in your arms,
content to go on dreaming
a nightmare too real to imagine
losing you
paralyzed tonight,
tearing me apart
you wake to the sound of another day
smile at me
and i hate that i want you
and nobody ever made me feel
feel the way i do now
Very powerful, underrated and overlooked song. Terry Nunn's voice is in top top form and the instrumentation is 80's perfect with a wonderful guitar hook. AND I am intrigued by the ambiguous lyrics that imply a strong passionate love but negate the bliss by having undercurrents of despair and looming loss. No reason for the deep misgivings either. The clue is in the "I hate that I want you" line. It would seem that there is a resentment that one is so vulnerable to another.
