about
The first big song that every really struck me as something people would think of as "catchy." I wrote it about unrequited love. Funny how I'm friends with that love today still.
lyrics
Oh I can’t speak
There’s a ball in my throat.
Hurt’s got a grip around my heart.
Rejection lays on my chest
And I’m breathing in too hard
Was I a fool for fantasizing
Some kind of dream without realizing
That it could all be wishful thinking?
Sister tell me I’ll be okay.
That the pain will go away and I won’t be afraid to try all over again.
What did you say to me when I was younger?
Did you tell me love could kill the heart?
What did you say to me when I was younger?
Did you tell me love didn’t always start
The way that I saw it in my head.
Chances are fleeting.
We cross then we pass.
I decided to hold on before you left my grasp.
It’s already enough to make the leap.
But then comes the lottery.
I hope it favors me.
If I told you I’d love you whenever
Would you turn and leave me forever?
The break and the mending, the patching the bearing
Of this sincere heart
I could close for a while
And you would ask me why I’m being so cold to you.
What did you say to me when I was younger?
Did you tell me love could kill the heart?
What did you say to me when I was younger?
Did you tell me love didn’t always start
The way that I saw it in my head.
You hit me hard. Left a hole where I used to be full.
Why won’t you look at me the way you look at him?
I won’t change myself, but I wish myself was enough.
Counting all the reasons why I thought you were saying more.
