about

When you give too much of yourself away for far too long to someone or to a situation that doesn't deserve you. Turning away from those who hurt us can sometimes take years, but it is the only thing we can do if we want to live life to the fullness. If you are finding your way to that place, I sincerely hope and pray that you can find strength and the faith to make the change and be the person you were always meant to be x

lyrics

I spent a long time waiting for the storm to cease
Spent a long time praying for release

Oh and I spent a long time taking all the blame
A long time living with too much pain

And gave blood for years
Tears 'til stone
and traded hearts for bones

We traded our hearts for bones

I spent too long hiding in the wilderness
Spent too long crying I confess

Oh and I spent too long shouting...for that I'm not proud
Spent too long dragging through the doubt...

And gave blood for years
And tears 'til stone
We traded hearts for bones

We traded our hearts for bones...

We gave blood for years
And tears 'til stone
We traded hearts for bones

We traded our hearts for bones

Spent too much grieving for too much time
Spent too much giving away what's mine

Oh and we spent too much trying to make some sense
And too much living in my head

We gave blood for years
And tears 'til stone
We traded hearts for bones

And gave blood for years
And tears 'til stone
We traded hearts for bones

We traded our hearts for bones

Jim Chorley Southampton, UK

Jim Chorley is an Acoustic/Folk singer-songwriter from Southampton (UK)

His songs, lyrics and recordings are honest and from the heart. Down to earth and real. Telling of wild woods and Welshman's Daughters, sing along Sea Shanties on the high rolling seas. Romantic meetings on the cobbled streets of a midnight city and the magical, mystical, mysteries of love and nature. ... more
