There was a time when I was sure
That you were my forever more.
'Love you forever' is what I said.
But it wasn't long before
A shred of doubt began to bore
Deep into my head
Open your eyes for a while-
Maybe they can see into mine.
Tell me, how deep do they go?
Tell me, can you see my soul?
I'll open my heart in time
With the sinking rhythm of your mind.
I think that we both know
It's time I let you go.
I look at you and all I see
Is someone who sees all of me,
But do I see you?
Were you ever what I wanted you to be?
And I can't just set you free.
There's nothing I can do.
Open your eyes for a while-
Maybe they can see into mine.
Tell me, how deep do they go?
Tell me, do you see a soul?
I'll open my heart in time
With the sinking rhythm of your mind.
I think that we both know
It's time you let me go.
They say in love all is fair,
But love is war, a warm despair,
And I've never felt alive.
Did I ever really care?
And will I ever learn to share
Something other than my lies?
Open your eyes for a while-
Maybe they can see into mine.
Tell me, how deep do they go?
Tell me, do I have a soul?
I'll open my heart in time
With the sinking rhythm of your mind.
I think that we both know
It's time for me to go.
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
