SUCH a good song..! One of my favourites I discovered in 2017

in openmic •  7 years ago 

"Hate to See You Heart Break" by Paramore, ft. the fabulous Joy Williams (of the Civil Wars). Lyrics Below.

"Hate To See Your Heart Break" - Paramore

There is not a single word in the whole world
That could describe the hurt
The dullest knife just sawing back and forth
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was

How were you to know?
Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before

Love happens all the time
To people who aren't kind
And heroes who are blind
Expecting perfect scripted movie scenes
Who wants an awkward silent mystery?

How were you to know?
Well, how were you to know-oh-oh?

And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before

For all the air that's in your lungs
For all the joy that is to come
For all the things that you're alive to feel
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal

Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)
Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before

Beautiful voice! nice song too!

Thank you! It really is a great song--go check out the original, too--even better as a duet :)

Another Beauty!! Thanks for sharing!

You are so welcome, and a big thank you!

Great song! And welcome to steemit! I'll be back by

It really is a great song. I wish it were mine :) Xx, Kay

Woo! Kay, this is really really good. You know, I've been down a cryptocurrency rabbit-hole recently (being completely new to it) and I'm not entirely sure of how I ended up on Steemit. But I've been clicking around on because - after I got my bearings - I began to wonder if anyone posts original music here. Cue me finding this post, and then the openmic tag!

Anyway, rambling aside, this is a great cover, and I love both Paramore and The Civil Wars, so, upvoteupvoteupvote. I'll have to try posting some tunes soon :)

The cryptos are tooooootally fascinating to me as well. So glad you found us here, and so glad you liked it! Both bands are amazing :)

For sure - you can take part in the weekly open mic! Xx, Kay

This is the kind of content that is going to make Steemit really take off. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. Thanks.

What a wonderful thing to say. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment. xx, Kay
