Collaboration on a R&B tinged song with Hammond B3
Wrote this song out of the bones of another song. Came up with the chorus and reworked all the verses to match the style. Dave came through with a beautiful cutting lead.
Living my life so tentative
Watching with care where I step
I once fell in love with the wrong girl
And I’d like to avoid doing that again
It hurt me more than I realized
When I fell for her pretty lies
When it comes to love
It’s best to keep your eyes fully open
I’ve found that that the heart can be misled
And you can easily confuse yourself
Break
A soft and tender heart
Is so easily torn apart
Some falls keep you up at night
Some wounds never heal right
Promises made or just implied
Hurt and tear you from the inside
While she goes off to live her life
And your bleed here wondering why
Shell shock, shellshocked and anxious
Trying not to repeat the pain
Don’t matter how good a lover she is
I won’t go through that nightmare again
