about

I wrote this song after the fallout I experienced when I realized I couldn't control every aspect of the world that affected my life.

lyrics

I put your record on
But no sound came out
You were much too scared
And you let yourself down

So what went wrong?
What happened to your plans?
Well those excuses sound fine
But I don't understand

Well give me a beat
Can you see everything?
Please know that there's nothing
You can control

I followed your story
All over town
You made it easy
Cause you stuck around

You've got the attitude
To make this work
But you can't get passed
All your hurt

Chorus

And I'm sure there's somebody else
Just like you
Who thinks they can get through
Life without a scratch

Let's chalk it up to fate
Hope for a better end
But that's not in the cards
I guess we can pretend

Chorus
