about

I think I first wrote this song in October 2012 and I never really did anything with it besides a really crappy demo that never really went anywhere. Since the theme of the music here seems to be the life and death of a relationship, it fits.

lyrics

I hate you for what you've done to me
You stole what I would give away for free
And now I don't want nothing anymore
And my problems are dealt with destructively

Promised a life of forbidden charms
And not one where I would seek to harm
Now I don't want you anymore
You stole the life I didn't know I wanted before

You gave me all that I dreamed of
You gave me something that I thought I'd need
Something that was so full of love
Something I still can't believe...

But still I wonder why
I have to lose all the time

I hate myself for ever wanting you
I hate myself for making it so easy too
Now I'm down and I can never win
Scars will fade, but still I sink in sin

You promised nothing, took it all away
Everything you said yesterday
Now I don't want you anymore
You stole the life I didn't know I wanted before

You gave me nothing left to think of
You gave me something that I didn't need
Something so different from love
Something I still can't believe...

But still I wonder why
I have to lose all the time

Will I ever win, this seems so unfair
Or is this just life, I need to learn not to care
It seems so cruel to have it end like this
When every day I see the very thing I miss

I dread what I feel when I'm alone
I'll take your pedestal, drag you off your throne
No price is worth what I paid for this
When now I know what I really miss

I make music whenever I can or whenever inspiration hits. It's always good when those two things come at the same time.
