about

'False Hopes' was going to be in the Country music genre. That changed around the third line.Written when I was tender,younger and green around the gills, in the mill-pond of love.

lyrics

I'm happy you feel you can write to me, how I landed here today
Your card was here to greet me,if you could see what my tears did say
Please come back,I love you,I miss you, oh why

You mentioned your new old love
Then told me not to dwell on the past
You're pleased I'm not wasting anytime
But I'm still falling

Is it easier to say,I should go out and have lots of fun
And please feel free to call
Let you know how I'm getting on

Thanks for all the good times and for our friendship to come
You know how much I needed you
When our love had just begun

Butterflies colours a-blaize one sunny day
Your passiona and fun brought me out of my shell
Thought I could forever drop my guard
I needed your love,you knew it too well
For our love to last what futuremI would sell

You said we should wait a while
There would be a price to pay
Sharing some idle gossip
Seeing you smile that way

Lift me from the hell, my heart's been living through
You're otherwise in other ways
I prayed hard that you'd find
Such clarity as I crumble in my endless forgiveness

You said we should wait a while,
I don't love you I never have
Don't doubt me please I can't stand
No tears I'm sorry
Please feel free to ring you
No reason
And let you know just how I'm getting on.
