Hey Breeny!

Gotta run, so I'll comment as I read.

The "words you wouldn't say"...love? commitment? How would that hurt?

Singer's lost track of the "days", but then you're talking years flying by?
No wonder she can't remember the exact number of days. wink

I must be thick as a brick, as I can't decide what "saying" they're so afraid of in
the chorus. Not saying "I love you" because it was predestined that they would eventually
split up?

You have what almost seems a double negative with...

"I’ve gotta face up to the lie
that life won’t go on without you"

Aigh't, hang on. I'll reverse it....

I've gotta face up to the truth
That life will go on without you

Okay. It DOES make sense, but why'd you have to be so convoluted with it, Breeny? smile


OK, this'll take me too long! The part I'm having trouble with is all the YEARS
flying by, with her just now owning up to the facts. I mean, I know from personal
experience that that one love that didn't reach fruition for any reason other than you
lost that "feeling" is one you never fully get over. But to ruminate across that many
years with a kind of urgency that seems currently palpable is kind of a tough sell.

Wouldn't hurt to throw us a bone with some personal event specific to this couple to get us involved.

As always, well written, with some good rhymes.

Even though I don't fully grasp it, this is a good one...

"Neither one of us could say it
Maybe we were just afraid it
would be the end to what we set aside
when it was time to say goodbye"

See ya, B,

Benaby
