My dearest and closest cousin who is a talented composer told me last year that he wrote a song about my break up (of a 7-year relationship). I was moved, and immensely curious... I couldn't wait to hear the song he wrote for me.
Finally, almost a year later, during this CNY, the song has been produced and released as the first single in the latest album of Juwita Suwito, an established Malaysian singer.
"Walk Away", aptly titled, couldn't have been more appropriate in its lyrics. My cousin read the lyrics to me before he sent me the MPG file of the song. How did I feel? Moved, touched and a tad nostalgic. Had I heard this song a year ago, when I was still going through the tremendous pain, I would probably have broken down in floods of tears. But today, when I listen to the song, I am thankful that I am now exactly where this song is headed.. I've walked away from the trauma and pain, and survived it with total closure.
Walk Away:
"Baby tell me something
Can you feel the silence echo down from my heart
Our vows’ been broken
Like love letters on the floor torn apart
I’ve been on journey
Flew through a storm and landed back at the start
I wonder why
I wonder why
Did you throw it away
Chorus:
Walk away
Just walk away
Don’t let love stand in your way
I won’t cry
I will not die
I won’t let you bleed me dry
You should know by now
I will breathe again
You are not a stranger
But a sacred part of me I can’t understand
The pain is getting better
Every time I learn my lines in this greater plan
I just wanna thank you
Now I know a rose can blossom in desert sand
I wonder why
I wonder why
Did you throw it away
Bridge:
I don’t wanna cry no more
I don’t wanna run no more
I don’t wanna hurt no more
I just wanna breathe again"
Thank you cuz, for writing this beautiful song...
