River Flows In Me

This is a piece that I wrote to fit the musical sentences from the instrumental song 'River Flows In You' by Yiruma. It's a beautiful song that touched me from the very first time I heard it, many years ago. I planned to write lyrics to it a long time ago, but I now I finally grabbed a pencil and did it :) You can listen to the original song here, and you can use my words to sing along ;p




After all what happened it still hurts
Yes, even though we saw it coming

We laughed, we hugged
We danced, we kissed
But the end it came so soon

If you go
If you go
If you go, I’ll be lonely

We cried, we yelled
We prayed, we tried
And then there was the end

When you went
When you went
When you went, it was silent

First there were some words and
Then it all got blurry
But in the end we both felt really hurt

You walked through the door and
I let a little tear slip
And then there was the point of no return

We haven’t seen each other
Since that awkward moment
How I wish I could turn back the time

I’m sitting here alone now
I don’t know what to say though
I only know that I feel really sad

I howled, I sobbed
I wept, I mourned
But I got back on my feet

When you left
When you left
When you left, I could see clear

You were good, you were kind
You were nice, you were sweet
But I now know what I missed

I want
I want
I want a place to be

Who I want to be and
What I want to do and
Where I want to be 10 years from now

But now I get the feeling
That I can make it happen
I can take my world in my own hands

I now know what I want and
I’m sure I’m gonna get it
I am confident in my own strengths

I now met someone else and
I’m gonna give my all and
If it’s not enough he’s not my prince

I laugh, I hug
I dance, I kiss
And I don’t miss you at all

Since you’re gone
Since you’re gone
Since you’re gone I feel so wild

I want, I shall
I will, I do
I can make it on my own

I am free
I am free
I am free, I am alive

Give Me Time

I see your look
And I understand your smile
But give me time
I'm not ready yet

I feel your hug
And I caress your embrace
But give me time
I'm not ready yet

I hear your words
And I want to believe them
But give me time
I'm not ready yet

I need your touch
And I'd give you mine
But give me time
I'm not ready yet

Of course you want
One person in my life
But give me time
I'm not ready yet

Hold me, kiss me
Hug me, love me
But give me time
I'm not ready yet
