about

I always liked changing lyrics up from chorus to chorus like this and breaking the songwriting mold. This song was later recorded on my Lovestar EP which hasn't seen the light of day yet.

lyrics

SUFFER

What else can we do? I still want to be a part of you.
We don’t have to try to be more than this, holding on to nothing.
What is there to say- soon we’ll be so far past yesterday.
We can’t even cry when we embrace, holding on to nothing.

You didn’t have to shatter all we had;
nothing really matters when you’re sad.
We can’t do the things we want to do;
it never really hurt as bad when you made me suffer.

Why else would you cry- we don’t have to speak to say goodbye.
You don’t want this solitary life; it’s all for nothing.
Why do you insist that this is wrong? I can’t find the space where we belong.
You can’t have the things you hope & dream, leaving you with nothing.

You didn’t have to shatter all we had;
nothing really matters when you’re sad.
I’m only so afraid that you will be
closer to the truth that it was me who made you suffer.

Anyone can see that this is not the way it used to be;
There is only you, and there is me, holding on to nothing.

You didn’t have to shatter all we had;
nothing really matters when you’re sad.
I’m only so afraid that you will find
excuses that I tried to hide behind when I made you suffer.
