about
I wrote this song yesterday. It's about love and how everything eventually comes to an end and not being able to cope with it. It's one of my favorites that I've wrote so I anxiously recorded everything in one take. I hope you enjoy I broke a string in the process of writing it, so it's recorded with only 5 strings :P
lyrics
Dirty bathwater. Laid out for you. Cleaned up by me,
I'm a guardian. What is the matter?
It matters to me. I stand here waiting.
If you want me to go, I'll go but I won't apologize.
If you want me to stay, I'll stay for you. Live my days with you.
Strawberry matter. It's fallen like rain.
The young morning comes, starting over.
Loved her, you had her. You never felt the way. You thought you should feel
when you're lovers.
If you want me to love. I will love for you. I will be so true.
If you want me to care. I will hold you here. Keep you warm and near.
Ah, say I'm gonna survive if this is over.
Ah, but I think that you'll lose your mind.
Ah, say who's gonna love me when all this is over.
Ah, nobody does it like you and I've tried.
Oh I've tried. I've tried.
I'm still astounded, astounded by pain. Astounded by beauty and astounded by shame.
Pick me back up, the way that you take. All of the pieces that comfort.
And If you love me the way that you say you do. Come and make me move.
If you push me away, I'll go away from here. I will disappear.
Strawberry matter, falling away. I kept you close, kept you sheltered.
What is the matter, to me it's the same. To me it's the same.
Ah, now you say you don't love me and I can't stay sober.
Ah, but I know that you're losing your mind.
Ah, who's gonna love me like you when it's over?
Ah, I've fallen to hard but I tried.
Oh I tried. I tried.
I'm so afraid of love.
