about

written in 2010, recorded in 2011. i wanted it to be on piano and have a trumpet but eh
don't remember where

lyrics

friends, they got your back now
no they’ll never back down
they found you smoking in the shadows
recounting your mistakes
and when you tried to run
they cried, “just give yourself a break”
and with the wettest eyes, you said
“oh, i’ve tried so hard.
lord knows i fucking tried so hard”

what am i supposed to say to the lord above?
that he’s fucked up his whole promise of love?
that is not what he meant. no,
that is not it at all.
and either way, i’m alone,
‘cause there’s no way that my own
soul can be saved from the wretches
of bad decisions.
