Matter Of Pride

by David Langran (David Langran)

The reflection of you
Is the affliction in me
My heart used to race
My lungs hardly breathed
Now what I desire
Goes forever denied
Once we were lovers
Then we suffered divide


It started so sweetly
My best first kiss
Your eyes made me tremble
Your smile couldn't miss


And we promised the world
And we meant it just then
So young and so restless
We never said when
Like a star with no shine
And a sun that won’t rise
When our love went away
It was a matter of pride

Now the memory of you
Is an addiction in me
When I picture your face
So clear and so free
My desires have changed
But you still hold the key
Once we were lovers
Now it’s just me

It started so sweetly
My best first kiss
Your eyes made me tremble
Your smile couldn't miss

And we promised the world
And we meant it just then
So young and so restless
We never said when
Like a star with no shine
And a sun that won’t rise
When our love went away
It was a matter of pride

(Bridge)

The reflection of you
Is the affliction in me
When I picture your face
My lungs hardly breath
