Blank Page
Broken Bonds: Billy Tomas' Blank Page Unveils the Pain of Separation
Lyrics
How can you sleep at night, when the world outside is falling apart
Expressing disbelief at how someone can sleep peacefully while the world is in chaos.
How can you be allright when there’s no more light and your in the dark
Questioning how one can feel alright in the absence of light and while being in darkness.
We shared a house a life and all you did was break it
Reflecting on shared life and expressing disappointment at the partner for breaking it.
You choose to walk away and leave your family naked
Accusing the partner of choosing to abandon the family, leaving them vulnerable.
I tried to forgive you from the start but forgetting was to hard you see I need to keep my guard
Describing the difficulty of forgiving and the necessity to remain guarded.
But life took a turn and here we are seperated far apart a blank page but with a scar
Acknowledging the separation and likening it to a blank page marked by a scar, symbolizing the pain.
Give me one good reason to open that door
Challenging the partner to provide a compelling reason to reopen the emotional door.
Think I’ll stay for a moment right here on the floor
Expressing a decision to remain in a contemplative state on the floor for a moment.
How did it feel on your side when you packed your bags and drove through the night
Asking about the emotional state of the partner when leaving abruptly in the night.
It was on you to decide do we break like glass or try make it right
Highlighting the partner's responsibility in deciding whether to repair the relationship or let it shatter.
I never thought you’d be the one who’d break our dreams
Expressing surprise and disappointment that the partner became the one to shatter their shared dreams.
I guess our faith in you was wrong and so it seems
Admitting that the faith placed in the partner was wrong, acknowledging the relationship's demise.
I tried to forgive you from the start but forgetting was to hard you see I need to keep my guard
Reiterating the difficulty of forgiveness and the need to guard oneself emotionally.
But life took a turn and here we are seperated far apart a blank page but with a scar
Reaffirming the separation, describing it as a blank page with a lasting scar.
Give me one good reason to open that door
Repeating the request for a valid reason to reopen the emotional door.
Think I’ll stay for a moment right here on the floor
Stating the decision to remain on the floor in contemplation for a while.
Sorry is not good enough for what you put us through we need to have reason
Rejecting a simple apology and demanding a reasonable explanation for the partner's actions.
Go fix yourself and make it well but this I gotta say
Encouraging the partner to self-improve but emphasizing it should be for their own sake, not just for the relationship.
Just don’t do it for us but for the next so they won’t pay
Advising the partner to consider the impact on future relationships and not repeat the same mistakes.
Give me one good reason to open that door
Repeating the request for a valid reason to consider reopening the emotional door.
Think I’ll stay for a moment right here on the floor
Reiterating the decision to stay on the floor momentarily for reflection.
Give me one good reason to open that door
Asking once again for a compelling reason to open the emotional door.
Think I’ll stay for a moment right here on the floor
Repeating the decision to stay on the floor for a while in contemplation.
