about

These lyrics were inspired by a friend telling the world that in ten years, her partner has never made her cry. I think this makes her a very lucky lady and a comparison with relationships I've known, both my own and those of other people, inspired this rather sad song.

lyrics

Celebrations and joy
With the man she calls home
She shares his good points
Like sweet honeycomb
In ten years together
He’s never made her cry
I can’t imagine, ever, what that must be like

It comes like a cyclone
A cold wind does blow
He’s picking a fight and
His words start to flow
I’m wrong in my thoughts and my words and my deeds
Though I bend til I break
I don’t meet his needs

When I was younger
I once dared to dream
Of meeting someone
Who’d be kind to me
But words are so strong
With no in between
And love has become
One way unredeemed

It’s out of proportion
To faults he has found
For hours the torture
Of harshness in sound
I try to placate with my words and my deeds
But though I am broken
He can’t see me bleed

So grab hold of joy
If ever you can
No traps to avoid
When eggshells don’t land
In ten years together
If he’s never made you cry
Then I guess that’s because
You’re a better girl than I

Angie Kuske UK

I'm a Singer-Songwriter based in Kent, UK. I started writing lyrics in the early 90s until work took over. I gradually taught myself how to use Garageband and now create all my songs from start to finish. I write unique, catchy pop songs with an 80s influence. I believe my lyrics have meaning and imagery which I hope people can relate to. Music links: linktr.ee/AngieKuskeMusic ... more
