WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS

So for this music blog I thought all week about which song I wanted to use, and finally after long consideration I decided to go with a William Fitzsimmons song. Largely, because I went to his amazing concert last night. The lyrics that I am using are from his song "You Broke My Heart" from his '07 album "Goodnight."

Lyrics to You Broke My Heart :
Fourteen years is all you made it
till forgiveness was frustrated
I was sorry you missed Christmas
do you think that you'll still miss us
i was angry when you left us
and it showed up on my mattress
and i told myself it's better if we only talk in letters
you broke my heart
you broke my heart
did you think about my mother when you shared the same bed cover
did you wonder if it changed her when your sons became your stranger
when will you admit your lonely
since we split apart the family
all the pictures are updated
all of us are separated
you broke my heart
you broke my heart
you broke my heart
i don't feel it anymore
you broke my heart
I don't feel it anymore you broke my ...


-I am a HUGE William Fitzsimmons fan and I own all three of his cd's I think that he is an amazing lyricist as well as guitar player. All of his songs are written with so much truth which is refreshing. The majority of his songs are written about divorce, his parents when he was younger and then his own. I really like this song because I feel that it gives a different aspect to the typical songs about heart break. This song may first seemingly be another sad love song about an ended romantic relationship. Actually, from William's perspective (because the song is about him) this song is about how his dad broke his heart when he cheated on his mom "shared the same bed cover" and left their family. When this happened to Fitzsimmons it completely changed his life at a young age. Although his perspective within the song is that of someone who is looking back on this event, it is still very clear that his father's infidelity is still a part of him.
