This song is my perception of the relationship that you know, in your mind, won’t work, but, you feel, in your heart, can. It’s that love that feels comfortable when you’re not thinking, and drives you insane when you are. When everyone tells you it’s wrong, but it still feels so right. And as it crashes and burns, you still can’t help but hold on, because wrong or right, you still feel connected to it. -GB
lyrics
It’s a love that’s meant for failure / but I couldn’t hold back / a mended heart I chose to show you / now it’s broken back in half / Now I’m losing my mind / cause I always want what I can’t find / I need to mend this broken heart / but I don’t know how / heartbreak spilling from my veins /
FORBIDDEN LOVE / IT TAKES ME AWAY / FORBIDDEN LOVE / THIS HEART IS BATTERED IN THE FRAY /
Well I should have it coming / cause this happened many times before / but don’t hold your breath / cause we’re under water / and soon we’ll reach the ocean floor / And maybe there we’ll find the time / the time to let this love unwind / but for now the water fills my lungs / and I’m suffocating / unsure I’ll make it out alive /
FORBIDDEN LOVE / IT TAKES ME AWAY / FORBIDDEN LOVE / THIS HEART IS BATTERED IN THE FRAY /
It’s an unconditional comfort / that’s lacking comfort for condition / and now / gravity’s become our worst enemy / can we find strength to carry on? / FORBIDDEN LOVE / IT TAKES ME AWAY / FORBIDDEN LOVE / THIS HEART IS BATTERED IN THE FRAY.
