lyrics

Bottle of whiskey lies down on my nightstand by my bed
First thing I woke drinking, was man, I'll never think again
And of all of the noons to rise and shine so miserably
When I need to make peace- oh, man, that's so like me
So I moan and I groan in your face
But, you're not here and I can't fill this empty space

You wanna believe that it was me who took everything we had
And threw it away, so casually, baby give it back to me

Locked in a prison where the warden took the key and up and split
Next thing I knew sulking (drinking) was the best thing for my benefit
Out of the moonlight, the sunlight, and back around again
There's no time in my mind, just one, long, terrible weekend

You wanna believe that it was me who took everything we had
And threw it away, so casually, baby give it back to me

Give it back, give it back, baby, give your love back to me
Give it back, give it back baby, give your love back to me
Give it back, give it back, baby, give your love back to me
Give it back, give it back baby, give it all back to me

Bottle of tablets, promises broken by a pill
If the sleep or the pain don't get me, well, the worries will
Out of the darkness a memory it blooms just like the spring
Oh, we had it all once, but baby you took everything

You wanna believe that it was me who took everything we had
And threw it away, so casually, baby give it back to me

Pile of embers, regret and rage they war to find who's won
And as a darkhorse, isolation and fear ain't done
Houseful of phantoms, they linger with the scent of your perfume
Oh I cling to the good times, once all we knew

You wanna believe that it was me who took everything we had
And threw it away, so casually, baby give it back to me

Give it back, give it back, baby, give your love back to me
Give it back, give it back baby, give your love back to me
Give it back, give it back, baby, give your love back to me
Give it back, give it back baby, give it all back to me

On New Year's Day, 2021, I decided to finally take up singing/songwriting.
Here are my first 5 efforts.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed writing and performing them.
