about

A song I wrote when i noticed patterns repeating in several relationships. Trying to understand that 'curse' feeling.

This track is 1/5 demos I recorded with Alex O'Gorman, on the last night his studio was allowed to be open to clients pre-lockdown.

lyrics

How can you say to me,
you don't feel any chemistry,
well, I'm getting tired of always
putting the blame on me

There's a new energy
around these parts since you got free,
and I'm running circles in my head,
putting you in the firing line instead,

you come close,
just to ask me to leave

What's it all worth,
chasing this idea that my best friend birthed,
maybe it's just make believe,
but I swear I saw a bit of it through the gaps in your teeth,

you come close,
just to ask me to leave

Boy, I've been in your seat
but I'm turning off the taps
'cause I'm not thirsty

you come close,
just to ask me to leave
