| Lyrics: | All the sweet things you used to say And all your fun and wild ways You left me standing here Alone to face my fears I was okay… until you left You’ll break my heart Don’t you know it always happens? You’ll break my heart And don’t you know that’s how it goes? In the end no one knows All our dreams that were to be Are now a distant memory They’re for somebody else But only I have felt The sadness you left me with Repeat Chorus No one knows about my sorrows … No one knows about my tears … Does anyone know? I wasn’t told the reason why You said goodbye and left me here Repeat Chorus By Dave Tough & Nate Anderton |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
