When words are simply not enough...
And now for a post about songs that perfectly define this couple. There are so many but I will only choose two here. Save the rest for later! This first one is so famous and its words are so perfect for the Martha/Charles relationship that I made a fan video with it. Just send me your email address and I'll send it to you. I really see the words from Martha's point of view. How she still loves Charles but his presence is too painful to bear. And she is trying to move on with her life but she can't...because he's more important to her than she ever realized.
My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
The song is also unique in that you can see Charles thinking the same thing, how he stayed with her during her mental breakdown, and how despite everything he cannot get her out of his mind. The song just works for the both of them. Well, I found this next song while searching for music about broken marriages. And the words just hit home so perfectly for Logan. The heartbreak of losing Martha. Even though what he did was terrible, it still hurt to have the one you love abandon you in your hour of need...even if it would have been wrong for her to stay. Still a little part of you is hoping she'll see past that and still love you. Oh, well, wishful thinking!
Broken Wings
These broken wings can take me no further,
I'm lost, and out at sea,
I thought these wings would hold me forever,
And on to eternity,
And far away I can hear your voice,
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
But these broken wings have let me down,
They can't even carry me home.
In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping,
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises,
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you're far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.
Or will you treat me like some traveller,
On a dark and lonely road,
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
Oh and just when she reaches the part,
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart,
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on,
Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong,
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
Come back and carry me home.
