lyrics

Verse 1:
“Woe is me” is my sacred place
Instinctively I run there where I feel safe
And I’m there now Yes I’m here now
I let you go but I’m not alone
I’ll never want you back so you can just let go
I think it’s safe to say I didn’t need you anyway

Chorus:
My mother may have made you her mistake
But it doesn’t mean that I will do the same thing
When you call yourself “dumb” that’s just you being safe
So when you lie you can more easily explain

Verse 2:
Explain to me how your logic works
When you say powerful things then claim they’re just words
How could I let them hurt when I’ve already learned
The things you say no longer work on me
So please keep your voice off of my machine
And just let me go Turn around and just go home

Chorus:
My mother may have made you her mistake
But it doesn’t mean that I will do the same thing
When you call yourself “dumb” that’s just you being safe
So when you lie you can more easily explain

Bridge:
I never asked you for a dime
All I asked you for was your time
But it seems that you have made up your mind
A long time ago when you left me behind
‘Til I showed up offering you one final try
And you stringed me along ‘til you could decide
Whether I’d be a worthy part of your life
Well father am I?

Chorus:
My mother may have made you her mistake
But it doesn’t mean that I will do the same thing
When you call yourself “dumb” that’s just you being safe
So when you lie you can more easily explain

Chorus:
My mother may have made you her mistake
But it doesn’t mean that I will do the same thing
When you call yourself “dumb” that’s just you being safe
So when you lie you can more easily explain

Chorus:
My mother may have made you her mistake
But it doesn’t mean that I will do the same thing
When you call yourself “dumb” that’s just you being safe
So when you lie you can more easily explain

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
