if i told you i love you
would it make you turn away
if i said i don't need you
could you settle down and stay
i don't why you feel you have to run away
the morning's unbroken
by the early rays of light
all is unspoken left to me to say goodbye
i don't know who you are between the lies
in a couple years you'll say you were the strong one
in a couple years you'll say i was the wrong one
for a decade i have given you my life at what price
i fold my hands like mourners embracing in your wake
and cry for the children and their innocent mistake
they don't know why you took yourself away
in a couple years you'll claim that you were blameless
in a couple years i'll know that you were shameless
for a decade i have given you my life at what price
10 year flew I never really knew you
10 years come and gone
I never really knew something was wrong
in a couple years you'll say you want to hold me
in a couple years I'll turn away coldly
for a decade I have given you my life
too great a price
for a decade I have given you my life
too great a price
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
