My Heartache Rings Across the Floor

Walking round work today I had the title in my head 'Forever Gone'. Instead of using that as a title I decided to use it in the chorus because I was just listening to some country standards in the bath which inspired me so I wrote the majority if the song there...in the bath. The song is meant to be a standard country song, simple yet absolutely heart wrenching. It speaks about being left by the one that you loved, as you may have noticed is a common trait throughout my songs. This song probably has one of the darkest lyrics I have wrote about there being a bullet through my brain, I felt that was a very manly lyric so for once thought I'd surrender to my masculine side.

Chorus
My heartache rings across the floor
Cos you don't live here anymore
Forever is too long, I can't believe you are forever gone
While my heartache rings across the floor

Verse 1
I cried to sleep last night
Not the first for you I've cried
I'd be better of somedays
With a bullet through my brain
When I'm reminded of you dear
I so wish that you were here
but my heartache is left ringing on the floor

Chorus
My heartache rings across the floor
You can't hear cos you're too far
Forever is too long, I can't believe you are forever gone
While my heartache rings across the floor

Verse 2
No bird could ever sing
And cure the awful sting
Of a one-sided love
I fell in love with you too much
So while I'm all alone
And the house is not your home
I can hear my heartache ringing on the floor

Chorus
My heartache rings across the floor
Cos you don't live here anymore
Forever is too long, I can't believe you are forever gone
While my heartache rings across the floor
