I promised a good man a love song in the form of a cheesy country waltz.
It took me 5 years and the tears of break-up guilt to finally put these words on paper and write "This Sorry Waltz." It's also my way of poking fun at my own bad habit to overuse the word "sorry" (for which I apologize)...
THIS SORRY WALTZ
Music & lyrics: Loes van Schaijk (January 2017)
I promised you a waltz but I could not close the deal
Because words could not do justice to how you made me feel
And now that I threw that all away these words keep ringing in my ear
You were the light of my life, my dearest dear
All I ever really seem to say is "sorry"
But what does "sorry" really do to ease your pain?
So take this waltz and take my tears
Walk away and find yourself a new dear
And if you ever need me, I'll be here
My dearest dear
Now if you happen to find a match who lights a fire in your soul
Rest assured she'll be inspected by the one who lost it all
And if she ever does you harm, well, this I promise you
This sorry waltz will become a murder ballad too
Now I've been told I'm self-destructive and if that's true then it's a curse
Because there's always collateral damage
And that only makes it worse
Cause how can I watch you suffer when I want to keep you near
You kept me safe and now it's time to save you, dear
