Steps ..

When I was little I used to love Steps the pop band, they were my happiness.

I had one video of a live concert of theirs and I’d watch it over and over!

Especially loving Faye’s “since you took your love away” ! I used to try to re-enact the video of her dancing and singing. I was only little then and never understood the lyrics but I loved the song so much!

Now as an adult, I’m still a massive fan of Steps.

I watch the same video on YouTube and i now not only do I understand the lyrics, they ring home to me. It’s such a beautiful song.

“Since you took your love away” Faye Tozer

Holding you so gently
I gave you room to breathe
Now all I feel is empty
Why did you have to leave
What happened to forever
Is nothing built to last
My whole world could shatter
I’m fading fast
Yeah I’m fading fast

I need someone to save me
You don’t know ’til you’ve been in love
I need to find a way back
And I don’t know if I’m strong enough
And though I’m longing for yesterday
I guess there’s really nothing left to say
‘Cos now that’s just a memory
since you took your love away
since you took your love away

I’m trying to forgive you
But I’m not proud to say
That after all we’ve been through
It’s hard to find a way
I’m trying not to hate you
For pushing me aside
But when a heart is breaking
Well it’s hard to hide
Yes it’s hard to hide now

I need someone to save me
You don’t know ’til you’ve been in love
I need to find a way back
And I don’t know if I’m strong enough
And though I’m longing for yesterday
I guess there’s really nothing left to say
‘Cos now that’s just a memory
Since you took your love away
since you took your love away

You took your love
Oh baby
NO I need you

I need someone to save me
You don’t know ’til you’ve been in love
I need to find a way back
And I don’t know if I’m strong enough
And though I’m longing for yesterday
I guess there’s really nothing left to say
‘Cos now that’s just a memory
Since you took your love away
since you took your love away
