This track started with some arpeggiated guitar tones and became a indie-pop/britpop style song. When Rohan Craw added his great lyrics and vocal melody to this, it felt absolutely right. This - again - is an international collaboration between Germany, UK and Australia. I'm so thankful to be able to work with such gifted talent!
A friend of Frank said: it feels like a left over 90ies demo tape, well, that isn't too far from the truth! So, I hope you'll be able to enjoy this musical collaboration.

Dieser Song entwickelte sich schnell von den anfänglich vorhandenen Gitarrenarpeggien zu einem dichten Britpop oder Indie-Pop Song. Als Rohan Craw dann seine großartigen Lyrics und die eingängige Gesangsmelodie hinzufügte, fühlte sich das absolut richtig an! Auch dieses Stück ist - einmal mehr - aus einer internationalen Kollaboration entstanden. Ich bin dankbar dafür mit solch tollen Musikern zusammenarbeiten zu können.
Ein Freund sagte mir zu dem Stück, es klänge ein wenig wie ein vergessenes 90er Jahre Demo Band. Nun, das trifft es schon ziemlich gut! Ich hoffe, Ihr erfreut Euch an dieser kleinen musikalischen Kollaboration.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking through another set of eyes
I'm seeing you clearer now
I think I might be starting to cry
cus my mind is thinking clearer now yeh
[Pre-Chorus]
When i was with you
the lies never left me
but now that we're through
its helping me to see
that you don't need me
as much as I needed you
[Verse 2]
when your stood there with him
I wish you were unknown
cus now my tears are at the brim
thinking how I should have shared my throne
[Pre-Chorus]
when I look back on the
times we had together
the pain we shared together
the love we shared together
when I look back I realise
what was wrong
[Chorus]
I shouldn't have
pushed you away
I should have held you close
I should have told you I love you
more times than just enough
but my mind was telling
me different things
and now when I look back
I know how you felt
when I held you at bay
I know that you must have held on
for longer than most do baby
and I'm sorry I let us down
but we can't hit rewind and replay
[Verse 3]
When I feel the pain inside
I just drink some more Chardonnay
but all this drinking makes the memories reside
I just can't seem to get away yeh
[Pre-Chorus]
now I can't wait
another day to tell you
about the way I'm feeling
and all i've been concealing
I know that I've been lying
but now all I want to do is start trying
[Chorus]
I shouldn't have
pushed you away
I should have held you close
I should have told you I love you
more times than just enough
but my mind was telling
me different things
and now when I look back
I know how you felt
when I held you at bay
I know that you must have held on
for longer than most do baby
and I'm sorry I let us down
but we can't hit rewind and replay
[Bridge]
Feelings don't just leave
when you split up
I know that we didn't see
when we uncut
But now that we're looking at things from the otherside
[Chorus]
I shouldn't have
pushed you away
I should have held you close
I should have told you I love you
more times than just enough
but my mind was telling
me different things
and now when I look back
I know how you felt
when I held you at bay
I know that you must have held on
for longer than most do baby
and I'm sorry I let us down
but we can't hit rewind and replay
