Selfish

i don't know you at all (voice memo)

wrote this one today. really honest. hope u like.

lyrics:
given the circumstances
i won't ask you to stay
given the circumstances
i would get it if you walked away

but all my life i've been looking for this
it seems fitting that
things go to hell now that i've found it

i don't think we're wasting time
but if you do i'm sorry
i can see a life with you
but if you can't i'm sorry
if 4 months means nothing
if none of it counts for something
then i'm sorry
if spending every night in your bed
has no meaning, then
what are we?
just a sorry excuse for love

lately the world is ending
so i won't ask for too much
lately the world is ending
and i find that i pretend to be okay with too much

but all my life i've been looking for this
real funny that
things go to hell now that i've found it

i don't think we're wasting time
but if you do i'm sorry
i can see a life with you
but if you can't i'm sorry
if 4 months means nothing
if none of it counts for something
then i'm sorry
if spending every night in your bed
has no meaning, then
what are we?
just a sorry excuse for love

...what are we? (voice memo)

here's a little song I wrote a year ago - it's about the grief of missing somebody you can no longer love.

lyrics:

v1:
It’s morning in your eyes
so my nights, they don’t need the light
your seasons take their sweet time
still, my bedroom’s perfumed of last july
and I’d be fine, someday soon
if only he were you

 v2:
he lets me take my time 
and I let him take you off my mind 
I don’t reach for you in shifting paradigms
yet, I search for you in his eyes
and I’d be fine, someday soon
if only he were you

bridge:
when you were with me
when I was sixteen
and tangled in you
oh, let me just stay here
I’ll pack up and leave soon
I swear I’ll forget you
just let me stay here, my dear

v3/outro:
‘cause it’s morning in your eyes 
and my nights are needing the light

if only he were you - (demo)

lyrics:

where did you go, angelina?
why did you take my foolish heart?
i should've known, angelina
i was never right for that part

i could've sworn, angelina
we would get hitched and you'd be a bitch about
getting us there on time
i'd thank the lord for angelina
oh, so i guess the wedding
i'll never be getting
will live in the back of my mind

i never loved you more than when you said goodbye
cause maybe i knew that love wasn't honest if you had to lie
i never loved you more than when you walked away
cause maybe i knew, angelina, you'd never stay

* trumpet solo ;) *

are you coming home, angelina?
i think i'm done trying to hold on to you
i think you should know, angelina
that i'd probably fall again if you wanted me to
and she said i love you so i said it back but i
wished she was you
