Helen Trevillion - The Message

Close your eyes, what do you see?
You hate yourself for what you never were
And what you'll never be
You paint your world in black and white
And somehow put yourself below the rest
Just because youre second best -

Oh, listen to yourself
Theres always something missing
Something more you could've done

But if you slam on the brakes at every mistake
You'll always be one step behind
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry
It'll only be tears that you find

Tell me now, how do you feel?
You're as strong as you believe
And you've done things that anyone
Would be proud to achieve
It's always you against the world
When will you stop fighting for the top
And be content with what you've got?

Oh, have a little faith
You're really something special
So why won't you believe it?

That if you slam on the brakes at every mistake
You'll always be one step behind
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry
It'll only be tears that you find

You close your eyes, and still you see
The memory of how you used to be
Before you stopped

So now you try
To resurrect
That part of you
That used to fly, used to shine
High above the grey and blue

You're not somebody else
You're all the things you'd ever wanna be,
So why can't you believe?

That if you slam on the brakes at every mistake
You'll always be one step behind
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry
It'll only be tears that you find

And if the reason you breathe is the goal that you see
Then you'll never be satisfied
Cause whats the reward when perfection is flawed
And the best you can do falls wide?

That if you slam on the brakes at every mistake
You'll always be one step behind
And if the harder you try, the harder you cry
It'll only be tears that you find

You close your eyes and now you see
A world where what you dream is what you'll be.

I like the faster version better

[Snowflower314]

Hey, thank you for the comment. And oh well! The bouncy dancey version is still available, so it's not like it's been replaced. :) <3

I know a couple of other people who prefer the other one as well.

(From my prespective, the fast version isn't really a good recording, so that's why I wanted to do this song again. I hate re-recording things and doing them exactly the same - I wanted to do a fresh version, hence the very different style. ^.^)

[Elyiana]

Beautiful song. Does anyone know where to find her lyrics for this song?

[Snowflower314]

Ooh I missed this. Thank you! :)

And hee hee. Well spotted. ;)

[Milliondollarshine]

Fantastic song. I only found out about Helen a few weeks ago and I'm really happy I did. I love her lyrics.

[strawberryutopia]

:o

I'd completely forgotten about this version! :D

[DPshrineINclosetGirl]

Hey, awesome song by her! Can you tell me where you got it from?

[onlyamemory1]

I love this song and its lyrics. Very inspiring with a catchy chorus! (I had it stuck in my head today.)

This and 'A Elbereth Gilthoniel' are definately my two favourites of yours. (:

[stareyedwitch]

I find this song fits in with my life. Being the middle child is never easy.

[Saphiraah]

This is great song and I prefer this version. This is just so beautiful^^

Greetings from Finland o/

[SirJanyse]

I like both versions, but I really do like this one better. It's so very lovely.

Though I did think the original was your best song, back when you were uploading things to that old... um... pink website you had.

[DemonsGirl]

Yeah true =), and thank you for making it still available.
