about

I wrote and recorded most of this about 2 years ago and I finally got around to finishing it. It's ridiculous. So, way to go, me.

A VideoSong version is also up on Youtube.

lyrics

the more time I stick around it seems/the more damage that I do/
my past failures or my future mistakes/is likely how I'll see you/
I beg my stupid desperate heart to allow me some space/for my sake and theirs/

yeah you're enamored by me now but it's only a matter of time/
you'll get to know me, my charm will wear off/
and your misplaced attraction will fall by the wayside/
you'll get frustrated and you'll get bored/ then you'll up and leave/
don't be so sure of me/

(chorus)
so please don't try to save me/I'm so far beyond gone/
no please don't try to save me/I am not your problem I've been my own all along/

I'll tiptoe the line treading carefully not to cross to either side/
knowing full well no matter what I choose I will end up the bad guy/
I'll sabotage every connection I struggle to make/too tired to keep it alive/

(chorus)

I will not make a move but if you do I will not stop you/
guaranteed not for the right reasons/but I will let you/I can deal with regret later/
