lyrics

If she asks then you can tell her I've been doing just fine
Tell her she was right, things got a whole lot better with time
If she asks then you can tell her that I almost called last Christmas Eve
Tell her what she needs to hear, what she needs to believe

Tell her I'm eating well and working out and making lots of cash
Important people know my name, my star is rising fast
If she asks then you can tell her I'm doing okay
But please don't tell her that I told you what to say
Please don't tell her that I told you what to say

If she asks then please don't tell her about the night I got too high
The scene I made and the blood I sprayed before the ambulance arrived
If she asks then please don't mention the other girls who come and go
But also please don't tell her of all the nights I spend alone

Don't tell her my medication's been chewing through my brain
Weak wisps of whispered requiems are all that remain
Please don't tell her that I tried to sell her, piece by pretty piece
Memories chopped to verses sung between clenched teeth

If she asks if I forgive her, remind her I never once blinked first
And anyway my secret crimes were at least ten times worse
If she asks if I recall the feel of her rising, falling chest
Then tell her I hope she's happy, and I wish her all the best

Go ahead and remind her of all the other things that I've forgot
But tell her I still remember what a precious thing we lost
Tell her I still remember what we lost
What a precious thing we lost

If you're still with her in the morning and her smile seems repaired
Don't you tell me what it looks like, just tell me that it's there

If you're still with her in the morning and her smile seems repaired
Don't tell me what it looks like, just tell me that it's there

Don't tell me what it looks like, just tell me that it's there

about

Tyler Taylor Boulder, Colorado

Hi, I'm Tyler. You may know me from my band, The Amends. I'm pretty sure you must if you've found your way here. I made this site so that I could have a place to quietly share my older songs (ones I mostly wrote before founding The Amends with Drew) with anyone who's interested. I recorded and played these myself, so forgive the varying sound quality. All songs are technically free. ... more
