richard cortez - trainwreck

"trainwreck"

i'm a trainwreck
i confess
i'm a head-on collision
masochistic mess
so don't try to stop me
it'll do no good
just let me walk away
like we both know i should
before i ruin just how beautiful this memory could be
of you and me
lying tenderly

i'm a handful
this i know
i'm no good unless i'm on the stage
playing a show
so don't try to hold me
because i'll just fall
and i'll shatter into pieces baby
both big and small
and there's no way that you could figure out how to put me back together again
my friend

they all say take a chance
they all say hold your stance
the world is spinning so fast these days
they say i think too much
worry about such and such
instead of the task at hand
stop writing songs about your broken heart
richard...
don't throw it all away
cause you're afraid that he might stay

i'm a lost cause
i'm a long pause
in an uncomfortable conversation with myself
and you're my last chance
my last shot at romance

so i'm sorry ahead of time
here's hoping you change your mind
cause to settle down with me
you gotta be crazy

and i don't really know what you see
when you look that way at me
but i hope this song is good enough of an apology
for loving me...

ive been listening to this one a lot lately, im going to have to buy it on itunes if its there. I do like your music , I think this one is my favorite thus far, you have a story telling technique in a lot of your music (Im sure theres a correct term for that style that i dont know lol) and this one is more of a song song... I like both, but just really like this one lately :) Sorry, I am obviously am terrible at explaining myself. lol

hey, a compliment is a compliment. unfortunately - this song is a song i'm working on recording for my new album - so no itunes... however, check out my first two records there. a lot more melodic stuff. again, thank you so much for you support and kind words. :) with love, -rec

Another Cortez joint burrowing it's way into my cerebral cortex. Ya know what Richard, you are able to create art from pain, so write all the songs about your broken heart you want to.

[rickydickypants]

thank you so much for taking the time to show a little love for my music - it means a lot. :)

[ItsStillTheSame]
