Description
Recording of a rehearsal session in my apartment on July 12, 2010, while experimenting with equipment. It reflects what I sound like on the stage--solo, and with very little in the way of sound effects. I have yet to find someone who can mix it and tweak it so that it sounds the way it does in my head. I wrote this song in 1999. It is based on a typical arguement my boyfriend and I would have at that time. As you may guess, that relationship ended. The song came shortly after the breakup.
Lyrics
You don't listen to what I say You don't feel the words that I don't show You're turning around and I can't let go You don't listen to what I say Or hear the meaning in my lines When I show acts of kindness you Seem so surprised But I give of myself all I know how to give And I'm sorry if that's not enough You should know by now that you're everything You don't listen to what I say The invisible girl You keep asking me what I have done that's so good I won't give you an answer So just go on your way Cause I know you're gonna argue no matter what I say But I give of myself all I know how to give And I'm sorry if that's not enough] You should know by now that you're everything Everything to me Everything to me You don't listen to what I say And you play with my mind And I think that we both know we're Wasting our time, our time But I gave of myself all I know how to give And I'm sorry if that's not enough You should know by now You should know by now You should know by now Know by now We gave of ourselves what we knew How to give But we both know it wasn't enough You should know by now that you're Everything Everything to me Everything to me
