A Matter Of The Hearts

from Big Sky Country by Sofia Talvik

lyrics

Is it because I can’t have you
because I let you go
I was the wiser of us two
but I was a fool for you

All the things I can’t tell you
that you already know
what do they matter now
and what do they mean anyhow

And the rain beats
like a thousand tapping feet on my roof
I never thought I’d miss you so
And the hail beats like a whip until my skin is raw
I deserve it ’cause I let you go

The way you used to hold me
I still think about that
But you’d always let me go
so finally I did too

I lie awake at night thinking;
It’s not a matter of the hearts
It’s what you choose to do
And you chose to let me go

And the rain beats
like a thousand tapping feet on my roof
I never thought I’d miss you so
And the hail beats like a whip until my skin is raw
I deserve it ’cause I let you go

It’s your choices that define you
all your actions that refine you
who you are, who you’ll be
if you’ll stay, if you’ll leave

And the rain beats
like a thousand tapping feet on my roof
I never thought I’d miss you so
And the hail beats like a whip until my skin is raw
I deserve it ’cause I let you go
I never thought I’d let you go

Is it because I can’t have you
Because I let you go

She is a veteran performer with 8 original full length albums as well as numerous EPs, singles and tours behind her. ... more
