No Future In Our History

(Intro)
Maybe I've read one too many a fairy tale
Or set the bar so high, no choice but to fail
Maybe no such perfect love does exist,
But there's got to be more than this.

(V1)
Cuz too many words have gone unspoken,
Too many promises have been broken.
We saw the signs but ignored the danger,
We'd bed as lovers but woke up strangers.

(Chorus)
My heart's too young to feel so cold,
But our life together is tired and old.
We're holding on to what-used-to-be
But there's no future in our history.

(V2)
I want someone who knows the real me,
And shares the dream of who I want to be.
Only a love that's bound by the soul,
Will make this young heart whole.

(V3)
I want to see the future in his eyes
To know our true selves, no need for disguise
I want to swim the depth of his body and mind
And love everything I find
(cuz)

(Chorus)
My heart's too young to feel so cold,
But our life together is tired and old.
We're holding on to what-used-to-be,
But there's no future in our history.

(Outro)
My heart's too young to feel so cold,
But our life together is tired and old.
We're just holding on to what-used-to-be,
But there's no future in our history.
Yea, there's no future in our history.

Since I have no actual musical talent of my own, the song you're hearing is performed and recorded entirely by some unknown studio musicians. The lyrics are mine, and this demo was the prize in a writing contest. It's not exactly the "moderate country" melody that I had envisioned but hell, it's better than the 6 chords and off-key, out of tune singing that I would have been capable of doing on my own.
