  • Days swiftly come and go
    I'm dreaming of her
    She's seeing other guys
    Emotions they stir
    The sun is gone
    The nights are long
    And I am left while the tears fall

    Did you think that I would cry
    On the phone?
    Do you know what it feels like
    Being alone?
    I'll find someone new

    Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    My heart is crushed by a former love
    Can you help me find a way
    To carry on again

    Wish cast into the sky
    I'm moving on
    Sweet beginnings do arise
    She knows I was wrong
    The notes are old
    They bend, they fold
    And so do I to a new love

    Did you think that I would cry
    On the phone?
    Do you know what it feels like
    Being alone?
    I'll find someone new

    Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    My heart is crushed by a former love
    Can you help me find a way
    To carry on again

    Bury me
    You thought your problems were gone
    Carry me
    Away, away, away

    Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    My heart is crushed by a former love
    Can you help me find a way
    To carry on again

    Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    My heart is crushed by a former love
    Can you help me find a way
    To carry on again

    Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    My heart is crushed by a former love
    Can you help me find a way
    To carry on again Writer/s: Nick Don Wheeler, Tyson V Ritter

  • Adrian from Qld AutraliaThis song is a guilty pleasure.... It's so far removed from what I'd consider my normal taste in music. Anyway, I've said it now.. it's out there on the internet.
  • AkariIt's pretty self explanatory. He loves her. She has another guy. He's moving on. She likes him as soon as he moves on. Classic love story, however the only difference is that this one doesn't end with them being together. That's my take at least. Please feel free to correct me or comment your opinions.
