Don't Take It Out On Yourself

a song I wrote. I'm going to make a proper recording this weekend maybe.
about the guitar: portable tape recorder + unplugged electric guitar + ancient strings + high E string is broken + haven't played in forever. that's all.
I probably don't really sound like Rilo Kiley, sorry.

5/09--someone posted asking for lyrics and I accidentally deleted their comment in my attempt to reply. I do this pretty much every day.

I watch television, I shake hands
but on certain occasions it's more than I can stand
I'll be treble-hearted, I'll be true
but I'm pretty sure that that makes no difference to you

I can't smack down, I can't brag
My mind doesn't work that way and it's always a drag
I'm not trouble-hearted, it's too true
but even if I was it would make no difference to you

I just want you to love me
but I'm pretty sure you never ever will
I just want you to love me
but I guess it's time to face the truth

I just wish you weren't around
like, sink into the ocean without making a sound
'cause every time I see you I remember that it's true
I just sit around and don't make a difference to you

I just want you to love me
but I am aware you never ever will
I just want you to love me
and I don't have time to face the truth

I just do this every day
It's been almost two years so I'm thinking it's okay
There's probably not much else for me to do
but watch television and try to make a difference to you

I can't smack down, I can't brag
My mind doesn't work that way and it's always a drag
I'm not trouble-hearted, it's too true
but even if I was it would make no difference to you
