From Faramir to Father

sung to the tune of Someday, Somehow by Nickelback


How the hell did we wind up like this,
why weren't we able
to see the signs that we missed,
and try to turn the tables?

I wish you'd loved me like him
but you were never able.
Why could I never do right,
and gain your favor?


Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Why is it that he, you adored
beyond all reasoning;
But me you always deplored
-I'm still your offspring.

Now the story's played out like this
as your madness takes you
I have loved you all of my life
but there's nothing I can do.

It's all wrong
just how long can
I hope that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
it'll never be all right - not now
I know we've reached the bitter end
(You're not the only one who knows that)
I know we've reached the bitter end.

I figured this Sting song could be Faramir about to reach out to Eowyn but afraid of rejection and showing his emotions.

"Be Still My Beating Heart"
By Sting (tiny changes by me)

Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I'm not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And she wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And she struggles to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
