lyrics

Why'd you come back?
Why couldn't you leave well enough alone?
Did you think that
I'd come crawling on my knees back home?

Since I did, don't you think
That it should have been a warning sign?
After what you did, and what I'm doing
Something's not right in my mind

You were right about everything but me
When you said I was kind and good and honest through and through
I'm not half the man I pretended to be
I'm wrong about everything but you

You should have let it rest
Let us both keep our illusions
It would have been best
Not to come to this sad conclusion

Cause now you have to see
My darker predilections
And my hungriest addictions
That have all been set free

You were right about everything but me
I'm gonna close my eyes and hope that you're gone by the time I count to three
Cause you broke my heart so if you give me the chance I'll break yours, too
Now that's what I do
I'm wrong about everything but leaving you

I can't take you back tomorrow
But I'll take you in tonight
We'll lie sweetly to each other
Say everything's all right

But there's still a bright light in the space between us
I thought had all but died
I don't need it where I'm going
So you should take it, I don't mind

In the morning when I wake up
And I know that you're gone
I'll never ever let go
I'll just stop holding on

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
