Another set of lyrics I wrote to music I cobbled together in Dance Ejay...
This is a little semi-autobiographical but, for the sake of the song, this guy is rubbing her nose in it that she let him slip through her fingers whilst he's made a success of himself.
THE ZONE
Verse
Standing pretty
At the end of the day
You're just not gonna stop me
From feeling this way
Such a pity
That you're not around
You made plain that you don't want me
So who's crying now?
Pre-Chorus
I don't need you, babe
To lift me up high
Now these wings take me where you won't go
I don't need to make
The same mistake twice
Now the lesson is burned in my soul
Chorus
Finding out the hard way
That you are alone
Was it vanity, ego or pride?
Does it make your heart ache
That I'm in the zone
And you won't be along for the ride?
Verse
I remember
The way that you kissed
That your heart was never in it
I promise you this
That you will never
Regain what you lost
Only one of us is winning
You'll find to your cost
Pre-Chorus
Still, I wish you well
I hope you survive
That you find some peace within your soul
Those who kiss and tell
Find holding the knife
Is a double-edged loss of control
Chorus
Finding out the hard way
That you are alone
Was it vanity, ego or pride?
Does it make your heart ache
That I'm in the zone
And you won't be along for the ride?
Verse
Doesn't matter
No tantrums or tears
Are ever gonna move me
I've shifted the gears
I'm the master
Of all that I am
You tried so hard to abuse me
You made me a man
Pre-Chorus
What more can I say?
Let go of the past
Cos your future is not here with me
Turn and walk away
The dice have been cast
They were less kind to you than to me
Chorus
Finding out the hard way
That you are alone
Was it vanity, ego or pride?
Does it make your heart ache
That I'm in the zone
And you won't be along for the ride?
Chorus
Finding out the hard way
That you are alone
Was it vanity, ego or pride?
Does it make your heart ache
That I'm in the zone
And you won't be along - no, you won't be along for the ride?
