The dark side of love, the feeling of loss. The sadness of a relationship coming to an end, inevitably. Emotions I went through a couple of times in my life, but never want to go through again.
lyrics
I remember, I knew right from the start,
The day you would leave, it’ll rain inside my heart,
Oh so afraid, that you would fade away…
Yet so careless, I got caught up in little lies,
Absent minded, while I looked into your eyes,
And still I knew, you are all I need…
Now I cry myself to sleep,
And wish that I had the love you can give…
And it hurts so bad, every day, every night, every time that I wake alone in my bed;
And I try every day, every night, every moment I breathe not to stop to believe that maybe some day you will come back to stay.
Looking back, I see the sadness in your eyes,
Over time we’ve built way too many alibis,
Eventually, I came to realize…
That I’ll cry myself to sleep,
And wish that I had the love you can give.
And it hurts so bad, every day, every night, every time that I wake alone in my bed;
And I try every day, every night, every moment I breathe not to stop to believe that maybe some day you will come back to stay.
All I taste is stale, all I feel is void,
All I see is dark, and my heart's gone cold.
Why did you go? I love you so...
And it hurts so bad, every day, every night, every time that I wake alone in my bed;
And I try every day, every night, every moment I breathe not to stop to believe that maybe some day you will come back to stay.

Tom's style is best described as rather unique acoustic guitar playing to support his songwriting. He swiftly combines
fingerstyle with tapping and percussion on the instrument to create a dense sound-scape, trying to make a single guitar resonate like an entire band. His influences are ranging from funk, blues and rock to streaks of jazz while he tries to keep an open mind and ear to all styles....more
