lyrics

I’ve been biting my tongue
I’ve been grinding my teeth
I’ve been sleeping too long
hoping that I might wake from this dream

And I’ve been getting too drunk
taking the edge off my day
but this smiling lush
can’t lift her spirits
no matter what I drink

And I aint saying its your fault
my life’s turning out this way
I only know when you were here
I weren’t in so much goddamned pain

And Ive been sleeping alone
‘cause who could ever love me
With a heart made of stone
and eyes full of tears
and a cup that’s half empty

So if you see me someday
sleeping out on the street
Won’t you please turn away
don’t let me see what might have been

Ive got a couple of friends
I’ve got this little guitar
But at the end of the day
what I don’t got is a cure for this broken heart

And I aint saying its hopeless
this little life of mine
I’m only letting you know know
my expectations awell they ain’t too high.

And you could blame the time
you could blame the day
you could even blame god
But for God’s sake
Why Don’t you just blame me

Ten Thousand Roses

Randomly found this album on bandcamp and it quickly became my most played album of the year. Such great production to go along with Dori’s songs and world weary vibrato. TRASH JAZZ
