Story behind the song
My X-husband was in mind when writing this. I was thinking about how finding True Love is like searching for buried treasure.
Lyrics
“X Marks The Spot” Lyrics by: Olivia Francis/Kate Justus Music/Melody by: Olivia Francis © 2007-BMI To whom this may concern, this goes out to you Be sure to listen closely, for what I say is true It’s important that you hear these words I impart For they pass directly from my lips to your heart Though this map is torn and faded, the path we took is clear All the signs pointed upward to cliffs steep and shear You fool yourself believing I’ll come back to you After all the pain and suffering you chose to put me through X marks the spot of a box beneath the ground Where faded bones of love are all that’s left to be found Dreams of happiness, vanished in thin air And though you said you loved me, you never really cared While you watch lurking from shadows, I move on behind closed doors Sad but true, loving you doesn’t matter anymore…anymore No buried treasures left worth searching for No hidden mysteries for us to explore No magic potion can bring our love back When all that’s left are ashes from the past…ashes from the past! Ashes X marks the spot above of a box beneath the ground Filled with faded bones, where love once was found X marks the spot where love hoped to bloom But now there’s nothing left of what we once knew Only decay remains of beauty spoiled Roots refuse to thrive within unfertile soil May you lie down and rot, ‘neath scorched forget-me-nots To face what you have done alone, within a box, where X marks the spot Where X marks the spot…where X marks the spot!
