Now Your Just a Song - Matt O'Brien
3/4/09

It was snowin at the bus stop
i thought of you the whole way home
your pretty blue eyes, the way you walked
the way you always held your own

It took 3 months, to figure out
we didn't even have a chance
the lives we live, are just too far
and distance kills romance

Now your just a song, a memory
a day gone by, your time with me
was just too scarce, no time in a week
was not enough, and we don't speak
and our time went by
and our days went by

Remember when I sang to you
Tried to show you who I was
My heart and soul, i opened up
but you never did because
a stupid boy, broke your heart
and took what wasn't his
and you never knew, you had a choice
and I can't change what is

Now your just a song, a memory
a day gone by, your time with me
was just too scarce, no time in a week
was not enough, and we don't speak
and our time went by
and our days went by

You don't have to say you're sorry
we just can't do this anymore
leave what we had and cut our losses
there's nothing left worth fighting for
the days go by, and i wonder why
you thought that we could make it through
then i remember what i said to you

So good luck with life
hope all those dreams come true
take care 'yourself, you'll be fine
we both had dreams, but yours weren't mine
And now I'm headin back home
And I'm feelin so alone

But our time went by
now our day's gone by.
Goodbye bye bye.

  • in the lyrics is it "a stupid boy, broke you apart" or "a stupid boy, broke your heart" because i am hearing the later and reading the first....

    either way....lyrics are just beautiful!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • It is supposed to be 'broke your heart' like you heard. Good catch! Thank you!

  • Personally, I'm not a big country fan, but that sounded damn awesome!

    What effects are you using for the mic.... sounds like a small echo...? whatever it is, it sounds really good.

  • Thanks man I was hoping this song would have an appeal to a wider audience. As for the audio settings they're kind of complicated but here it is in general: im using a plug in to garageband basically "live performance with a reverb of 36/100 no echo. sounds good with voice & guitar on the same mic which is how i chose to do this one.

see all

  • dude, love ur videos, all of them. i like how u can imitate the songs, would love to meet u, u need to have a contract or something, ur a talented singer.

  • Even my 9 month old loves your videos :)

  • I never comment on videos, but wow! You're really good, and I'm pretty judgmental on country music being from Texas.

  • your covers are awesome... but this song introduces the listeners to you. I expect more you now. i think this song slams the door on your cover days and opens the one you need to go big... so go BIG.

  • you have incredible talent!!! you can go so far. i cant wait to see more from you. ive been watching your videos for the past few hours XD haha i love your voice!!!!!

  • the lyrics are sooo good!!!! i love hearing songs and wondering who they could be about, this reminds me of taylor swift because it seems like a diary entry, i hope the girl this is about knows what she missed out on!!! it seems like you really cared about her. PRECIOUS!! <3 love love love

  • well now... the cover songs you do dont even come near this one... sounds great... this one is my favorite...now i know you prefer country, however this may just fall into a rock category... i look forward to hearing more...

  • @ mfbarnes52 you know what your taliing about

    p.s. you are REALLY GOOD!

  • This song sounds great. You are a great singer. Stick with it, hopefully you will get your shot.

  • I really hope i see you on the big charts one day! your amazing! i might just be your biggest fan! : )
