Beautiful love song from Bristol based artist Domino Effect Project

Holding You

The scientist

[Intro]
You stood there with a ring and a promise
But time’s revealed the cracks inside your charm
You said you'd build her up with kindness
Now all I see is harm

[Verse 1]
You're drinking more than talking these days
And your words come sharp like razor blades
You raise your voice, and the kids all scatter
Like paper boats lost in a gale
You blame her for the life you wasted
While you're the one who walked away
From the man you swore you'd be
Back on that wedding day

[Chorus]
I'm disappointed, can’t you see?
You're not the man I hoped you’d be
You’re breaking hearts instead of chains
And pouring liquor on the flames
I see the wreckage, hear the cries
I wipe the tears from children’s eyes
You point at them, when it’s your soul that’s stained
Son… I’m just so disappointed

[Verse 2]
While your world’s falling in tatters
You treat her love like it's disposable
You treat your kids like they’re to blame
But I see through the smoke and whiskey
You're just drowning out your name

[Chorus]
I'm disappointed, can’t you see?
You're not the man I hoped you’d be
You’re breaking hearts instead of chains
And pouring liquor on the flames
I see the wreckage, hear the cries
I wipe the tears from children’s eyes
You point at them, when it’s your soul that’s stained
Son… I’m just so disappointed

[Bridge]
I gave you trust, I gave you time
I gave you room to change your mind
But now I stand here on this line
Between protector and goodbye

[Chorus – Final]
Yes, I’m disappointed, this cuts deep
You traded vows for nights of sleep
You left the mess for them to clean
You crushed their joy, you stole her dream
And if you ever want it back
You better fight, and change your track
But if you don’t… don’t leave it disjointed
Just know... I’ll always be disappointed

[Outro]
You still got time… to make it right
But tonight... I sleep with the porch light
Burning for them, not for you
You know what you need to do

Disappointed

Came back to music after a long absence to record charity single Golden Sun for Brain Tumour Support after my bro was diagnosed and died recently of a brain tumour.  Music lifts my soul and I couldn't stay away.  Went back into studio recently and recorded EP Silent Nightmare...New music being written and recorded.
