Story Behind The Song

I thought it would be interesting to write about a break-up from the point of view of NOT getting over it & not forgiving, even to the point of spiteful - as opposed to the more common take on such a situation - ie, moving on.

Song Description

Bitter & twisted after a loved one has left

Lyrics

Verse 1
I?ve been waiting for your return (you left me stranded)
Been waiting to hear your call (I?m empty-handed)
Lonely says my tattoo (it used to have your name on it)
Intertwined with roses and a song bird of bay

Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart is shattered fine
I won?t move on

Verse 2
I can?t go out and face the day (it?s a heavy load I carry)
The devil?s sleeping on my chest (see me waste away)
Wish you could taste my tears (drink them up, they?re poisoned)
Wish you?d feel my fears, understand my misery

Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart is shattered fine
I won?t move on

Bridge
We?re not so different, me and you
It?s so wrong we?re not the same
I can feel our worlds cave in
I won?t move on

Verse 3
I?ve been waiting for your return (you left me stranded)
Waiting to hear your call (so empty-handed)
Taste my tears, they are poisoned
Wish you?d feel my fears, understand my misery

Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart is shattered fine
I won?t move on

Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart feels just like mine
I won?t move on
