Check out the blog for the Story Behind Through & Through! This is my first ever self produced, self released single. From the first seed of an idea, to the final master, I did it myself! Let’s say it was frustrating and rewarding in equal measure! I hope you enjoy!
Lyrics
Through & Through
Verse 1
Each time you put me down
Push me down
Pull me down
Try your best to keep me down
I’ll rise above it
Each time you take for granted
Everything I do
And take advantage of my kindness
I will keep on loving
And when sometimes I hold your hand
Snuggle close cos you’re my man
And get the Icy shoulder
How it cuts me
Then I spend sleepless nights
asking myself why are you so cold
and what more can I do
To make you love me
And when you disappear into your shell
Where I can’t reach
Refusing to communicate
I’ll keep on trying
To bring you out and hold you close
Give you the love you’ve never known
And hope that somehow
I can save your souls from dying..
.. then maybe I can stop crying..
Chorus
No matter what you take
I’m still giving
However hard you make this
I’m still living true
You tell me love is dead
But I’m still loving you
Verse 2
Each time you criticise the way I carry on
And roll your eyes
because I’m always wrong
I’ll just try harder
To make you proud and say out loud
How glad you are that I’m around
And smile the smile
that makes my heart beat faster
And when you tell me
I should get out more
And spend time with my friends I’ll just pretend it doesn’t hurt my feelings
Then when you say that you’re OK
And sit alone and sulk all day
I’ll try my best
to guess what you are needing
And when you say
you couldn’t give a damn
What people think about you
I don’t understand but I admire you
I wish I wasn’t so obsessed and insecure
Are they impressed? Will they accept me?
No it’s better to be like you..
... but I can never be like you...
Chorus
No matter what you take
I’m still giving
However hard you make this
I’m still living true
You tell me love is dead
But I’m still loving...
You... ooh ooh...
And I love you through and
Through... ooh.. ooh...
Verse 3
Call me a fool but I believe in me and you
And I won’t give up hope
As long as we are both still living
And if a miracle is all we need
To get us through
And keep us glued together
I will never give up..
Wishing...
Am I the only one wishing...?
Chorus
No matter what you take
I’m still giving
However hard you make this
I’m still living true
Don’t tell me love is dead
Cos I’m still loving you
However long it takes
I will wait for you
So look into my face
And see the living truth
That there’s a better way
Right here for you to choose
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I’ll never walk away
Cos I love you
Through and through
I love you through and through
Love you through and through
