about

This is the last song that I wrote for the album. I was at my parents, my Mum was very ill and in her last hours. Again, most of it was written very quickly but had trouble coming up with a bridge. Rob Szabo came up withe the bridge part and we built an amazing sequence of stacked vocals and what I think is a gorgeous duet.

Some of this is verbatim and very personal. Funny how two people can have a different idea of where a relationship is going. One knows things are going south and is trying to save it, whilst the other thinks it's over. I wonder about this disconnect sometimes. Why can't people just be honest and say...you know, this isn't good for me anymore. Is it easier just to blow everything up than to tell the truth? I guess telling the truth means owning up to being the bad (one) the person who gave up. What do you think?

lyrics

I knew things were desperate
When he left here that day
His eyes wouldn't meet mine at all
Just please don't be stupid, was all I could say
He mumbled "I love you, I'll call."

I knew things were over when I boarded that flight
As I steeled up my mind for the fall
We hadn't been close in a very long time
it seemed like she just didn't want me at all.

It's ok if you want something more
It's ok if you've found someone new
It's ok if you no longer love me that way...
But don't lie, and say that you do.

Don't say anything
We're over
I still love you, I still want you
