Liner Notes

#acousticonetake
A bit of painful mid morning introspection. Wrote and recorded it pretty quickly. The honest ones are both the easiest and the hardest to write. Couldn't quite remember where I left my new Breedlove so I did this on my old Martin. Seemed fitting.

Lyrics

I’m not who I thought I was
the veil now has fallen off
my eyes and I feel so damned
alone
I don’t know what you think of me
I never knew it honestly
are you like me and never thought
at all

I’m tired of putting on a show
tired of pretending, to be
somebody you want to know
I’m hurt inside and not so nice
maybe you should realize
I’m not who I thought I was
and I’m not who you think I am
at all.

wish I could strip off
all the makeup and my clothes
and naked sit for all the world
to see
no more hypocrisy
what you see is what I’d be
take it or leave it whatever
this is me

I’m tired of putting on a show
tired of pretending, to be
somebody you want to know
I’m hurt inside and not so nice
maybe you should realize
I’m not who I thought I was
and I’m not who you think I am
at all.

Gosh, this is everything...
I love the rawness in your voice, in your lyrical heart.

It's true, the most painful ones are the easiest to write.

Very nice recording-how do you record yourself? Good way to rise to the personal soundtrack challenge, which I think I am doing next.

I relate to your song a lot. Beautiful acoustic one-take and your vocals are especially lovely - the melody as well. I agree with you on the authentic songs - they also are more impactful because the honestly comes through in the music. Hope you felt better after you got this I - I really enjoyed listening to it.
