We're Not Gonna Make It

Lyrics (Not Personal)

So many nights,

I've lain awake.

With so many things on my mind.

We've held on so long,

Knowing love's gone,

Only the tears and hurts left behind.

 

"Chorus"

 

And we're not gonna make it,

So Honey, let's face it,

We can't go on living this way.

No use denying,

I'm so tired of trying,

And nothing's left either can say.

 

So many times,

We've talked about this.

It should be clear by this time.

Our hearts not in it,

Our faith is all gone,

We've reached the end of the line.

while this may not be personal for you - it hit a chord in me. I know this feeling well as I tried to hang on to my marriage; knowing full well that it was done. Eventually - faced the facts and moved forward - one of the best things I've ever done. :-) I'm becoming a big fan of your lyrics - I think you have a gift for this.

You really seem to hook into the whole country lyrics scene so well. I'm surprised I'm not hearing this on the radio.

There is a story in each one of your songs, and it plays out over the span of a
drawn whisper, I think the passion accentuates the meaning, the quality in depth
and desire brings the writing to another level, and the scope of creativeness
plays in, with harmonious effect, reading, the presentation in thought, there
is much to consider, always a pleasure to read your masterful songs of love.

a sad but honest piece for so many!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Most definately your lyrics are always great... I think so many of us hang on sometimes afraid of change of being alone... I would sure love to hear your stuff put to music.

Sadly, I've been to this place myself... more than once. This is again, wonderfully done Norma :) I often sing poems when I read them, so to have the opportunity to read someone's lyrics... suits me well! :) And so far your rhythm has been outstanding! As are the lyrics... !

Excellent!
