Yep, another leaked song but what a song hey?? Loving this, a very nice ballad
. The song starts off with strings that are reminiscent of Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" and Dido's "White Flag" (seriously!) before Heidi sings verse 1, ending with "I cried night and day cos it was oooover". Keisha then sings the very catchy bridge that was in the 30 second sample (the one that includes "something from a movie scayne" haha), although there are no drums at this stage. The chorus is gorgeous, with the first chorus just the girls' harmonies and piano and strings. Keisha's voice is more prevalent in the chorus but still the harmonies are great. Then the drums kick in and Amelle sings verse 2 and sings well, very understated but kick-*** at the same time haha - I seriously love the girl! Then Keisha's bridge again and then the chorus until the end. I cannot wait to buy this album, I've loved all the full songs I've heard to date!! The lyrics are below by the way
:
Verse 1 (HEIDI)
I tried to make it work
I learned the hardest way
I lost him in the end and it was over
I turned my back on love
I switched off at the mains
I cried night and day cos it was over
Bridge (KEISHA)
You came up I swear that it was just like
Something from a movie scene
When we met we connected
I never expected you'd be everything to me
Chorus
You are everything I want to say
Nothing that I want to lose
Feel like I will never break
I've been mended by you
You're the reason that I want to stay
The places that I want to go
Cos I know
I've been mended by you
Verse 2 (AMELLE)
You never held me close
You never let me go
Just when I lost the fight
You were my soldier
And now we're standing here
In such a different place
August 23rd
Do you remember?
Bridge (KEISHA)
You came up I swear that it was just like
Something from a movie scene
When we met we connected
I never expected you'd be everything to me
Chorus
You are everything I want to say
Nothing that I want to lose
Feel like I will never break
I've been mended by you
You're the reason that I want to stay
The places that I want to go
Cos I know
I've been mended by you
Ooohhh
I've been mended by you
Aaahhh
I've been mended by you
Ooohhh
Aaahhh
Chorus
You are everything I want to say
Nothing that I want to lose
Feel like I will never break
I've been mended by you
You're the reason that I want to stay
The places that I want to go
Cos I know
I've been mended by you
