about

In 1991, writing the lyrics for what eventually became this song was my way of putting the finishing touches on getting over a failed relationship. The music evolved from a straight ahead Blues to what it is today ... something I like to call R&J ... Kind of a cross between R&B and Jazz.

It talks about the feelings that I'm pretty sure most people over the age of 13 have had at one time or another. Even though my life choices have been much better since then, I can still feel the burn of that breakup when I think back.

lyrics

**********************************************

You know I wake up every morning The very first thing that I do
Is push away my pillow that my arms told me was you.
Everything around me
reminds me of the good times that we had
n' it always gets me thinking… “what was it made you treat me so bad?”.


Then I fire up the coffee ... for just one cup instead of two
then while I’m takin a shower ...
Damn… I see that bottle of your favorite shampoo
As I look for a fresh T-shirt, I find those earrings that you'd been looking for in my top drawer
and I think "Hey, I'll bring it over to you … "
but I ain’t knocking on your New Man’s door

CHORUS
Was it all my own fault? Did I come on too strong?
Is that why I'm lonely today.
Did you mean one single word that you said
--- or did you always have .... a half-assed love.

[SOLO]

My friends are always try'n to tell me ... maybe our love just wasn't meant to be
if it turns out they're wrong, they all say ...
that someday you'll come back to me
but between now and then.. I’ll just have to wait
and find out whatever will be
That all real easy to them but it sure is hard for me


The hours turn to days, the days into weeks
while I try to find things I can do
to fill up my mind and comfort my soul,
and keep me from thinking 'bout you.
Every now and then there's that one little thing
that someone around me will say.
And it sends me plunging right back into
"How could you leave me this way?"

CHORUS
