A set of lyrics about a relationship split caused by family members’ mistrust of their daughter’s choice.

Sadly, the daughter is too weak to stand up to them and loses her one true love.

Girl I’m really sorry now,

but I guess that it’s too late,

The love we had is over,

It’s not open to debate.

I drew your name upon the sand,

your family drew their guns.

My friends say, ‘She’s the loser now’

But I don’t feel that I’ve won.

Your family were my jailors,

Judge and jury too,

Failed to see the evidence,

The love that we both knew.

And still their God forgives them,

For they know not what they do,

Crucified for nothing,

Torn apart for loving you.

I’m asking you for reasons,

For answers you can’t find,

How can they be your own thoughts,

When they come from other minds?

And still your eyes deny me.

The tears that you should cry.

I’ve given you my heart girl,

There’s nothing left to try.

You say that you still love me

Claim that you still care

I hold so close the memory

Of a love that we once shared

I don’t believe in Heaven

I can’t believe in you

You fooled me once, shame on me,

Twice is shame on you

I’m giving up

I’m letting go

Believe me babe we’re through
