Lyrics
Orpheus N' Eurydice
Words and Music by Peter Merz
I keep staring at this jigsaw
With a piece that's gone astray
Like a broken cup that's mended
It's never quite the same
You tossed me like I was nothing
Like a dirty Band-Aid
That's outlived its usefulness
Nine years and you walked away
PRE-CHORUS 1
I'm crying alone
My heart is bleeding
Love's been dethroned
Here I am grieving
Quarantined
With these demons
Cold and obscene
No one to lean on
No one to lean on
CHORUS
I'm losin'
I'm losin' like
I'm losin' just like
Orpheus n' Eurydice
I'm losin'
I'm losin' like
I'm losin' just like
Orpheus n' Eurydice...
Orpheus n' Eurydice
Now my heart's a lonely orphan
It was quite a surprise
When you plunged that cold knife in me
And still I don't know why
I watched all my dreams start fading
With those papers in hand
Oh, by the way, it seems to me
That you don't give a damn
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
There's no going back to okay
But it didn't have to end this way
And no matter how hard I hope or pray
Nothing will ever be the same
Don't know how I made it through today
I opened my hand but there's only decay
A torn puzzle piece has gone astray
Part of a key to another place
Another place
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
