about

I wrote this song in 2015. The song is personal and depressing, written about a girl I used to like, but she never returned my feelings. The music complements this, being slow and in a minor key.
Sparse arrangement, featuring only piano and vocals.

lyrics

I have only myself to blame
And I can see that you’re not the same
I look at the skies and I see they’re now clear.
Sometimes I just want to break down in tears.

And I know I’ll never fall in love because
I’m gazing hopelessly at the love that never was.

For a while, I’m lost in the music
Of some poets doing the blues
But when the song is over
I’m crawling back to you.

And I know I’ll never fall in love because
I’m gazing hopelessly at the love that never was.

Broken glasses and dead flowers
My tears are raining down in a shower
There is a fire that surrounds us
I can’t take no more, so let me combust.

And I don’t know where to draw the line
There in your eyes, I never saw the signs
I guess I’m going to lie down and die.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye.

And I know I’ll never fall in love because
I’m gazing hopelessly at the love that never was.
And I know I’ll never fall in love because
I’m gazing hopelessly at the love that never was.
