The Script by The Script

I just bought The Script CD. I'm really enjoying it but the one song "I'm Yours" makes me sad every time I listen to it. It is a typical crooning love song and it is a really beautiful song - But now I have no one to dedicate it too! grrr romantic songs.

I'm Yours - by the Script

You've touched these tired eyes of mine
And mapped my face line by line
And some how growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap your thoughts and works of art
And there hanging on the walls of my heart.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours.

And though my edge is maybe rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
And it may not seem like very much
But I'm yours.

You healed these scars over time
And braced my soul, you loved my mind
Your the only angel in my life
The day the news came, my best friend died
My knees went weak, and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours.

And though my edge is maybe rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
And it may not seem like very much
But I'm yours.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours.





In other events, I got wrecked this weekend. Now let me quickly interject before you roll your eyes at me like I'm a bad incurable party animal - I'm not a big drinker really I'm not. My varsity friends nicknamed me Half Beer Frank for a while. So I went for a Braai at my old bosses house And he very kindly saw me through about 7 (large mugs) drinks of the ciders and wines variety before I saw the bottom of my glass. And also plied me with strange and bizarre liquor from foreign lands that tasted mostly of motor oil and lawn cuttings Yum yum...Funny enough he and his wife were dozing off when we left - I was not driving Thank you Ed.

However this isn't about bragging about my pickled liver. Rather I was quite amused at getting drunk proper proper for most likely for the first time in my life. {and now the other group of you are rolling your eyes at my poor innocent 24 year old self} I think my parents were quite amused to hear me shuffling around trying to walk straight down the passage and not trip over everything. It was a novel experience at least and now I can tick tat off my list of life experiences. I even completed the experience by having to get up early this morning with a monster headache and go out for breakfast. Breakfast of course being of the coffee and bacon and eggs fry up style.

Now I may move on with my life from the experience Wooooo ....and back to moping over touching lyrics from The Script "Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even"

i am especially touched by the don't break even song. the first time i heard it i thought this guy has a good thing going with the rhythm and the rhymns ryhmns rhyums rimes? it is sweet and painfull in the lyrics. i feel for the bro. it is not a song i relate to personally but i relate to the emotion that went into the song writing.

enjoy it
