Any Song But Mine

from A Thousand Hearts EP by Britt Kusserow

/

lyrics

I didn't mean
to come apart at the seams
baby I know
you know the weakness in me

When no one's around
I'm not quite so godly, so sound
the things I say
I am ashamed to repeat

When the years
wrap me in lies and I
can't find the fire of the
times that I tried to be kind
why do I blame any song but mine?

Some who succeed
sadden me beyond belief
where did they go
to avoid hardship and grief?

The wind's left my sails
still air is thick with betrayals
the going gets slow
the going, and all it entails

This shall fade
and with it my memories
faux hawks and suede
and the times that I
questioned the praise

smiled politely and turned the page
wished for a moment to own the stage
realised that I've grown too tired to rage
