Lyrics
Gotta Pull Myself Together
Copyright November 20, 2006 Stan Loh.
Verse 1
The nights prey on my mood,
I dona019t know which way to go,
Tried to smile like I should,
But mirror brought tears to the show,
Been so bloody mixed up,
Since our break-up,
Like a rolling kaleidoscope,
I gotta pull myself together,
And give a chance to hope.
Verse 2
Chastised by self-served guilt,
Therea019s no place called Reasonland,
Dismantled whatever we built,
Now revenge wants to take a stand,
Ia019m swayed not to patch up,
Drain the storm cup,
Keep the waters deep and gray,
Dona019t have to pull yourself together,
Your sanity had its day.
Bridge
There were times we could have built a lovely dream,
Incredible how we worked as a team,
Now ita019s hard to understand,
How we bred a firebrand,
That grew so colda026a026
Verse 3
Each weekend ushers the blues,
High moon means time to cry,
It festers and cooks up more clues,
Whata019s the point of finding out why?
Gotta gather the pieces,
Smoothen the creases,
Do a three-sixty for my good,
I gotta pull myself together,
And get out of this mood.
Stan, This one really pulls at the heart strings . Touching song ......Beautiful but sad . Claire
