Cover art for Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart lyrics by Chris Cornell

it's the pain of losing a lover that drives you to the edge, where sultry sexy death seduces you, beckons you on and life is the fat ugly woman, you make a Faustian bargain with. " Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart In broken little pieces and you know I need this Like a hole in the head" Except your choice of nearly forgetting your broken heart comes around to haunt you again and again keeping you on the brink of it all. to be or not to be it's that simple. you cant strum your pain forever. forgive accept adapt you might end up mending your heart with time for time is a healer...

Genesis - No Son Of Mine

Well the key to my survival Was never in much doubt The question was how I could keep sane? Trying to find a way out

Things were never easy for me Peace of mind was hard to find And I needed a place where I could hide Somewhere I could call mine

I didn't think much about it Till it started happening all the time Soon I was living with the fear everyday Of what might happen that night?

I couldn't stand to hear the crying of my mother And I remember when I swore that That would be the last they'd see of me And I never went home again

They say that time is a healer And now my wounds are not the same I rang a bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd say

He sat me down to talk to me He looked me straight in the eyes He said, "You're no son, you're no son of mine You're no son, you're no son of mine You walked out, you left us behind And you're no son, you're no son of mine"

Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it You're no son, you're no son of mine But where should I go? And what should I do? You're no son, you're no son of mine But I came here for help, oh I came here for you

Well the years they passed so slowly I thought about him everyday What would I do if we passed on the street Would I keep running away?

In and out of hiding places Soon I'd have to face the facts We'd have to sit down and talk it over And that would mean going back

They say that time is a healer And now my wounds are not the same But I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd say

He sat me down to talk to me He looked me straight in the eyes He said, "You're no son, you're no son of mine You're no son, you're no son of mine You walked out, you left us behind And you're no son, you're no son of mine"

Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it You're no son, you're no son of mine But where should I go? And what should I do? You're no son, you're no son of mine But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you

You're no son, you're no son of mine, oh You're no son, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah You're no son, you're no son of mine, oh, oh
