I do a dub-a-double take a thousand times a day
No matter where I go I always think I just saw your face
And every time I realize I'm wrong
A part of me still can't believe you're gone
With everybody in my life I'm obligated to explain
Who I am, what I said, what I meant, why I feel this way
But you knew more about me than I knew myself
I'll never find the same in anyone else
When you left me, you never even said good-bye
Since you left me, all I can do is wonder why
I'd feel so much better off with you dead
Then I'd still believe in you and I'd blame God instead
Remember how the days and nights started to feel the same
Time had a way of stopping when I cried out your name
But the voice I just heard made my blood run cold
In the blink of an eye your heart just turned to stone
When you left me, you never even said good-bye
Since you left me, all I can do is wonder why
I'd feel so much better off with you dead
Then I'd still believe in you and I'd blame God instead
When you left all my friends told me that I should move on
That I deserved better than you
Sometimes I wish you'd died
Then I could greive in peace
And everyone would understand the pain I'm going through
When you left me, you never even said good-bye
Since you left me, all I can do is wonder why
No, no, no, no, no
When you left me, you never even said good-bye
Since you left me, all I can do is wonder why
I'd feel so much better off with you dead
Then I'd still believe in you and I'd blame God instead
When you left me, you never even said good-bye
Since you left me, all I can do is wonder why
I'd feel so much better off with you dead
Then I'd still believe in you and I'd blame God instead
I do a dub-a-double take a thousand times a day
No matter where I go I always think I just saw your face

Blame God Instead
I'm at a mental road-block. All this packing, and reminiscing has put me in a rather melancholy mood. The following is a song by a group that has morphed quite a bit in the past year. At one time the lead guitarist was a friend of mine. I have no idea if this song will be on the soon-promised album. I've always liked this song, but never put anyone in my life with it until Tracy. Walking around Orlando last weekend, I kept doing double takes, fully knowing that he'd have no reason to stray so far from his CO home. I'm pretty much over his antics, but every so often he creeps back into my mind.

Did he write this for you?
ReplyDeleteThe hook is good, but the dead thing is creepy ... although I understand what he's trying to say. I can't imagine the music he will put to this .. but let me know, I am curious because the rhyming is off and when the rhyming is off the voice and music got to be smoking.
She, actually. See if this works

The dead thing is a bit creepy, but it's for effect. I didn't totally get it until, like I said, I was in that position. I heard this song for the first time early in 2004.
While the rhyming might not quite work on paper, the song is pretty good, in my opinion.
