Lyrics

Please don’t say it In fact, don’t talk You can only point me to the door So many times, before I walk

Please don’t play it That brutal game The one you always win, with rules You never care enough to explain

If you’re gonna leave me bleeding Please don’t listen, ‘cause I will be pleading Not to you, because my words are lost I need something to unbind your love

I’ve been biting my nails again I know now where I failed, and when Revisiting the memories of way back then i'm surprised to find I’m no longer afraid of them

If you’re gonna leave me bleeding Please don’t listen, ‘cause I will be pleading Not to you, because my words are lost I need something to unbind your love

Strong lyrics and great delivery. This hits me for where I was at the end of a relationship.

Beautiful poetic lyrics sung with feeling juxtaposed with the jangling ukelele strum make for a great song. love it. :-)

enjoyed this, really strong vocal and there's some nice lines in this, I like "I've been biting my nails again / I know where I failed and when" as a couplet in particular

That first dissonant uke chord is really lovely - and the second chord that resolves it is perfect. I really like the lyrical pacing in your song - lots of wonderful forward momentum. I came here for the title, and your song did not disappoint! Super memorable melody also especially the chorus.

Lovely low key one take magic. My life is better this evening for having listened to this tune. Best wishes!

As always, I love how the melody and pacing of this bring a little playful tone to the melancholy lyrics! That chorus is catchy.
