Lyrics
Alone on the couch with just my thoughts.
Try to get up but I am caught.
I always knew you would break my heart,
but I didn't think I would fall this hard.
I just can't believe it went this far.
I have no idea who you really are.
You looked me dead in the eyes,
And like it was nothing you told me lies.
It was always unclear how things would go.
You always made sure that I didn't know.
And worse than you not wanting me,
Is being the fool that I could be.
I thought at least we were friends.
And it would all work out in the end.
But what do I need with a friend like you?
I don't even think you know what is true.
Now that I know it's goodbye,
It's no longer worth it for me to try.
My mind is twisted, my heart is spent.
This crooked game is where my love went.
You have nothing real to offer me.
And I should be happy to finally see.
I should count my blessings and walk on by.
But it's just in my nature to agonize.
There's nothing left for me to say,
best I can do is take myself away.
It's not like me to make this wish,
But I hope someday you cry like this.
I just used to love to make you smile,
For nothing in return it was worth while.
And it really is too god damn bad
That you didn't realize what you had.
Alone on the couch with just my thoughts.
Try to get up but I am caught
I always knew you would break my heart
But I didn't think I would fall this hard.
I just can't believe it went so far.
I have no idea who you really are.
You looked me dead in the eyes,
And like it was nothing,
Like it was nothing,
Like it was nothing you told me lies.
Try to get up but I am caught.
I always knew you would break my heart,
but I didn't think I would fall this hard.
I just can't believe it went this far.
I have no idea who you really are.
You looked me dead in the eyes,
And like it was nothing you told me lies.
It was always unclear how things would go.
You always made sure that I didn't know.
And worse than you not wanting me,
Is being the fool that I could be.
I thought at least we were friends.
And it would all work out in the end.
But what do I need with a friend like you?
I don't even think you know what is true.
Now that I know it's goodbye,
It's no longer worth it for me to try.
My mind is twisted, my heart is spent.
This crooked game is where my love went.
You have nothing real to offer me.
And I should be happy to finally see.
I should count my blessings and walk on by.
But it's just in my nature to agonize.
There's nothing left for me to say,
best I can do is take myself away.
It's not like me to make this wish,
But I hope someday you cry like this.
I just used to love to make you smile,
For nothing in return it was worth while.
And it really is too god damn bad
That you didn't realize what you had.
Alone on the couch with just my thoughts.
Try to get up but I am caught
I always knew you would break my heart
But I didn't think I would fall this hard.
I just can't believe it went so far.
I have no idea who you really are.
You looked me dead in the eyes,
And like it was nothing,
Like it was nothing,
Like it was nothing you told me lies.

I would change the harmonies. I would make it even a
more intimate performance by using just the solo voice in
the beginning, adding the drums and then, maybe,
harmony.
To me the harmony is a little awkward and distracts from
a very minimalist melody. (The harmony kind of
disappears in the middle...and then comes back.)
Nice guitar, drums. Interesting vocal style.
