Week Seven - It's The Eyes
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)
The last lyric and the sample are from "Take It With Me" by Tom Waits
lyrics
Confessed my love a thousand times and what do I
What do I have to show for it
It’s another disappointment
Another explanation
That it didn’t go the way I hoped
I hope I learn my lesson
Cause how many times
How many more times will I fuck myself
By not keeping my mouth shut
And getting my hopes up
And lying about what
The situation is
I’m gonna lose you
You were fine before I came back
You’ll be fine if I go
Confessed my guilt a thousand times
So why do I
Why do I do it all again
It’s another I’m sorry
Another amends
It’s so hard to help myself when you
When you look at me that way
You say it’s the eyes
God it’s those eyes, I am defenseless
I’m lost in a second
And standing here breathless
Making my exit
To give you guys a chance I gotta lose you
I take comfort in the fact that you once loved me
“I’m gonna take it with me when I go”
