Orpheus and Eurydice

Lyrics Peter Merz
Music by Tom Bedlam

I keep staring at this jigsaw 
With a piece 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
Oh, that's outlived its purpose, 
Nine years and you just walked away

PRE-CHORUS 1
I'm crying alone, 
my heart is bleeding
And love's been dethroned, 
here I am grieving
Quarantined with these demons
Cold n' obscene, 
No one to lean on

CHORUS
Im losin' like
Im losin' like
Im losin' like
Orpheus and Eurydice

Now my heart's a lonely orphan, 
It was quite a surprise
When you plunged that cold knife in me, 
And I still don't know why
I watched all my dreams start fading
With those papers in my hand
Oh, but it seems to me 
That you don't even give one damn

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 1

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 and pray
All I see is darkness and decay
Don't know how I made it through today
I opened up my hand
And I saw a torn puzzle piece
Part of a key to another land
Another land

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS TO END
