Fantastic lyric writing here. This line stuck out to me: "call me fool, but I'm feeling lost because you don't want what I thought we had found". But there are plenty of others too. I see comments below that I totally agree with. Taro's comments about the lovely timbre of your voice...spot on. Hanley's comments about the rich and full tone of your guitar. Couldn't agree more. Pure pleasure listening to your songs. Great work this FAWM!

Love the title and I love how you've built a compact sad narrative around it. Great break-up song which your vocals turn the melancholy up to 10. Gave me some little shivering down the back of my neck.

Those vocal leaps on the chorus are giving me goosebumps. Weird how good music can make the saddest things consoling.

What a great way to take that phrase. A sad and relatable story spun out in small images and thoughts that work so well. You're so good with turns of phrase -- here I especially love "but I'm feeling lost/ because you don't want what I thought we had found."

Also love what you do with the melody and phrasing in the chorus.

So many well-done details and great narrative voice. I particularly like the "went to a show" stanza. And of course the use of furniture.

What a great story, and how it unfolds in just over two minutes is staggering. I can certainly hear more 'Americana' twang in your vocals on this one, and it works really well for the song. That guitar has such a rich and full tone to it, is that an old Gibson or something? Sounds spectacular whatever it is!

Oh yesss. Shivers down the back of the neck. And that ending... "I sure hope that you don't want any part of the furniture that you left behind"... superb.

My wife will love your songs/voice too.

That's exactly how I write lyrics. Really nice storytelling here and I love the way you use very familiar turn of phrase in a new way. Your performance has a real "resigned" feel to it, which works really well with the subject matter.

Really wonderful melodic phrases, particularly in the chorus. Beautifully understated, melancholy and on mood with the lyric. There is a sentimental feel to the way you sing this that imbues the words with extra meaning. Great write

I read the lyrics and then had to come back to the demo a little later. So first off, from a pure storytelling perspective, this is masterfully constructed and achingly sad. The journey from hope to acceptance to regret to rage is sensational. That final, whiskey-soaked f**k you of "I sure hope you don't want any part of the furniture you left behind" hits soooo hard. And the little vignettes of the visit to the dad and the show (is the latter literal or metaphorical?) bring the whole thing to life somehow. As for the music, dude your voice is off the charts, so much nuance and richness of timbre. And I love the kind of cold open of "Take me, for example". Masterclass.

Great melody and storytelling! I really like how this came together
