Looking back I realise I was blind
How you treat me after all of this time
You saw me for who I really was
Instead of trouble, a brighter cause
Don't raise your hopes too high
You knew too much
You had enough
In the end pride got the better of you
You believed in me when you only could
Helped me on, I wasn't sure if I should
You were always there to fill the background noise
I friendly face and a soothing voice
Don't raise the bar too high
You knew too much
You had enough
In the end pride got the better of you
Looking back I realise I was blind
How you treat me after all of this time
You saw me for who I really was
Instead of trouble, a brighter cause
A song Rachel wrote the lyrics to and I wrote the guitar part. She wanted something like 'Heart Shaped Box' by Nirvana. Shame, I'd never heard the song. A rough take, we never actually finished this. The vocal is a guide vocal.
The best thing about tonight
Is that you're not there
You never talk to me anymore
I say hello, You walk out the door
Maybe one day
You'll turn around and see my face
Maybe one day
All you'll see is an empty space
I try my best to fake a smile
Even though deep inside
A silent scream breaks out once more
Why did you break me?
I thought you were my fairytale
The dream was ever-lasting
But once again you broke the spell
And now I'm left alone
Knowing I've been there every time
You said those three spiteful words
I still believe all your lies
If you pretended you love me
I try my best to fake a smile
Even though deep inside
A silent scream breaks out once more
Why did you break me?
Why did you break me?
Why did you break me?
My body gained an immunity to the poison in your voice
Yet my soul still lies in tatters
It'd be kinda funny if I'd actually been given a choice
You look at me as if I never mattered
While you gaze upon the shell of what used to be me
I'll allow you to dwell on your fantasy
You can't hurt me now
No, you can't faze me now
My spirit's in repair
Your eyes deceive you trough a thick kinda mist
The reek of acid fills the air
What's the use of trying when you'd rather stay like this
Something about this doesn't seem fair
You can look upon the ruins of what used to be our home
You only latch on to me because you can't stand to be alone
You can't hurt me now
No, you can't faze me now
My spirit's in repair
My spirit's in repair
Drunken nights, I can't explain
My feelings through the seering pain
The thought of us at the front of my mind
Makes it hard to leave you behind
It comes around and you can't escape it
By the look in your eyes, you're scared to face it
Age comes with many surprises
Fate comes in many disguises
Goodbye November, afternoon December
It's the greatest gift you won't remember
Maybe next year we'll both be sober
Maybe we'll wait for next year to be over
Maybe next year we'll both be sober
Maybe we'll wait for next year to be over
Goodbye November, afternoon December
It's the greatest gift you won't remember
Maybe next year we'll both be sober
Maybe we'll wait for next year to be over
A cover of the Oasis song, Half the world away. Recorded on a bored night in with a couple of friends. Quite out of time, but otherwise not a bad recording.
