Gill's lockdown breakup song; written on her kitchen floor in March 2020 and arranged whilst climbing Ben Nevis when lockdown lifted.
lyrics
You gave me something to believe in
Who knew, so soon, I’d be leaving
Terror took over, deceiving me,
I miss you my love
You gave me room that I could breathe in,
Holding hands, and the cuddles that we squeezed in.
My poor distracted mind enveloping me,
I miss you my love
I never felt that I was worthy,
Yet you felt, you were never good enough for me,
A tangled web of insecurities,
I miss you my love
You never fought, never talked me down,
You moved away, lived way out of town,
Life was so hectic, in my chaos I drowned,
I miss you my love
You’re too afraid that I would leave you,
In my heart, I was convinced, you would leave me too
A cruel self fulfilling prophecy,
I miss you my love
I laid myself at your feet,
disregard my pride and my dignity.
I fear that friends we will never be,
come back to me my love
I give a thousand heartfelt apologies,
Please come back to me, my love
