about

I wrote this song when I was sad on New Years Eve and poorly recorded it two days later.

lyrics

I wish I could get your stench off of my jacket
every time I move a little piece of you flutters away
so I'll run down these streets through the snow and the rain
my shoes are untied and your words are ingrained on my psyche
"what a mess we've made"

if you don't love me don't tell me you do, please
and if you don't love me don't act like you do, please

I've been wandering around in these circles for days
hunting for words that could get you to stay
but I come up empty handed once again
I quietly sit on my bedroom floor
through the silence I hear a knock at the door
it's you, for the first time in years I don't answer

if you don't love me don't tell me you do, please
and if you don't love me don't act like you do, please
don't run your fingers through my hair
don't pull me in or pretend to care if you don't
and god knows you don't

the night we first met I noticed you in the midst of everyone
and we walked and we talked about movies and our favorite songs
the night we first met we were reckless and god, so young
before I could taste the poison on your tongue
you know what you've done
you know what you've done
you know what you've done
you know what you've done
I don't care about the way you take your coffee at waffle house
(you know what you've done)
or the dreams that you've had, or the color of your mother's favorite blouse
(you know what you've done)
I don't care about September 3rd or October 15th
(you know what you've done)
but I hope that your eyes still light up at the mention of me

and if you don't love me don't tell me you do, please
and if you don't love me don't act like you do, please
don't run your fingers through my hair
don't pull me in or pretend to care if you don't
and god knows you don't
you don't
