Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #guywithguitar #altcountry

A fast one last night.. had to wait to record until this morning because the house was asleep and I couldn't play two chords in a row without screwing them up.

Lyrics

I've got no reason to think that you
Would tell me another lie
If it's just the same, I'll protect my name
So this is my goodbye

Don't tell me you don't hear the rumors
Or you don't hear them talk
You could draw a line here but you disappear
No, you won't walk the walk

Why do I see you fading
In the shadows one more time?
What are you afraid that I will find?
Tell me what is weighing on your mind
It's not gonna be like it was before
'Cause I'm not gonna be here anymore

You could've given me a warning
Tell me your concern
You let the gossip run and you held your tongue
You let it all crash and burn

And you don't get to act surprised
At how it all turned out
Don't stare at me with your sympathy
That's not what this is about

Why do I see you fading
In the shadows one more time?
What are you afraid that I will find?
Tell me what is weighing on your mind
It's not gonna be like it was before
'Cause I'm not gonna be here anymore

I see the look you give me
When I turn my head
I need for you to tell the truth
And stop the gossip that was spread

Why do I see you fading
In the shadows one more time?
What are you afraid that I will find?
Tell me what is weighing on your mind
It's not gonna be like it was before
'Cause I'm not gonna be here anymore

The line 'tell me what is weighing on your mind' stuck out to me after a couple of listens - it shows the fair-mindedness of the narrator, even in talking to someone who has slandered them. I appreciate that you kept the lyrics vague enough to create some mystery as to the specifics, while alluding to an experience we've all had to some extent.

The title hook is very effective and you give it just enough room to breathe.
