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

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.
