Story Behind The Song
I thought it would be interesting to write about a break-up from the point of view of NOT getting over it & not forgiving, even to the point of spiteful - as opposed to the more common take on such a situation - ie, moving on.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I?ve been waiting for your return (you left me stranded)
Been waiting to hear your call (I?m empty-handed)
Lonely says my tattoo (used to have your name on it)
Intertwined with roses that are fading away
Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart is shattered fine
I won?t move on
Verse 2
I can?t go out and face the day (with this load I carry)
The devil?s sleeping on my chest (see me waste away)
Wish you could taste my tears (drink them up, they?re poisoned)
Wish you?d feel my fears and understand my misery
Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart is shattered fine
I won?t move on
Bridge
We?re so different, me and you
It?s so wrong we?re not the same
I can feel our worlds cave in
I won?t move on
Verse 3
I?ve been waiting for your return (you left me stranded)
Been waiting to hear your call (I?m empty-handed)
Wish you could taste my tears, they are poisoned
Wish you?d feel my fears, understand my misery
Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart is shattered fine
I won?t move on
Chorus
I won?t move on
Until I know you?re hurting too
Until I know you?re blue
Until your heart feels just like mine
I won?t move on
