More Things To Say
Story Behind the Song:
“This song is about keeping your emotions bottled up when you should have said what was on your mind and in your heart. Living in regret. All too often it can get the best of us, but if you’ve ever felt the relief of telling someone how you truly feel, you know it’s the best way. It’s not always easy, but just step back, take a deep breathe and let it out. Just remember, there is no right or wrong, there is just right now.” – Alejandro Manzano
Lyrics:
You lost her
And now you wish you could
Take back what you did wrong
You lost him
How could he breathe
With the pressure that you put on?
How come being proud always feels so wrong
When you hurt the one you love?
But still you find a way to wonder why
Behind those walls that won’t come down
I’m sure you had more things to say
You’re upside down and inside out
‘Cause I’m sure you had more things to say
When time passes by
You’ll start to see how one word
Could’ve changed it all
There’s so much more than “I”
When 5 letters were enough
To prevent this fall
How come saying “sorry” comes so easily
When you’ve had some time to grieve
But still you find a way to wonder why
Behind those walls that won’t come down
I’m sure you had more things to say
You’re upside down and inside out
‘Cause I’m sure you had more things to say
But there’s always someone else you blame
Oh just look where it’s got you now
You tell yourself that it’s okay
But I’m sure you had more things to say
Behind those walls
I’m so sure, I’m so sure
Behind those walls that won’t come down
I’m sure you had more things to say
You’re upside down and inside out
‘Cause I’m sure you had more things to say
But there’s always someone else you blame
Oh just look where it’s got you now
You tell yourself that it’s okay
But I’m sure you had more things to say
I’m sure you had more things to say
I’m sure you had more things to say
Broken Angel
Story Behind The Song:
“I’ve had the privilege of becoming close friends with some amazing/fascinating young women, who have gone through so much. This song began as just a concept a few years ago, not much more than a song title. But as I met more and more of these “broken angels,” they helped me turn it into a song. Not everyone will have experienced what the lyrics touched on exactly, but those who have will know it all too well and hopefully will have, in this song, something that is truly about them and their story. Though I am proud of every song I’ve ever written, this is the one I hope people remember me for. Even if only a certain group of people connects with it, I hope they know that I tried my best to capture a fraction of their story in 5 minutes, which is never enough time. Thank you for inspiring me.” – Alejandro Manzano
Lyrics:
You showed him all the best of you
But I’m afraid your best
Wasn’t good enough
And know he never wanted you
At least not the way
You wanted yourself to be loved
And you feel like you were a mistake
He’s not worth all those tears that won’t go away
I wish you could see that
Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen
Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams
Oh broken angel
Inside you’re dying ’cause you can’t believe
And now you’ve grown up
With this notion that you were to blame
And you seem so strong sometimes
But I know that you still feel the same
As that little girl who shined like an angel
Even after his lazy heart put you through hell
I wish you could see that
Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen
Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside you’re dying ’cause you can’t believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter
But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
You’re just a broken angel
And I promise that it’s not your fault
It was never your fault
And I promise that it’s not your fault
It was never your fault…
Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside you’re dying ’cause you can’t believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter
But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
You’re just a broken angel
And I promise that it’s not your fault
It was never your fault
And I promise that it’s not your fault
It was never your fault
