It Wasn't You

I was listening to songs
You sent once when you couldn't pay for a bus
Though the music's still nice
To be honest, I really don't think of you much
I just like the band
I just like the band

When we talked on the phone
Your voice started breaking, you said you were scared
That you might die alone
I'm pretty sure there will be someone there
But it never should have been me
It never should have been me

Just to be clear, you stayed perfectly kind and you still do
But I'd do you a disservice to resort to lying and say
It wasn't you

I should say, get your head out of fiction
Those people you love cannot love you back
Are you too proud for wishing
For anything more substantial than that?
You're allowed to say yes
You're allowed to say yes

Quit saying you're cursed
You're the only one cursing so please just calm down
Don't try to be a martyr
They just die because nobody wants them around
You know I'm right
You know I'm right

'Cos it certainly wasn't me.

I absolutely love this, but the myspace link to the cd is dead.

[LaurenOC12]

Whoops. Thanks for the heads up. I fixed it.

[ktbear12008]

This song should have been on the soundtrack for 500 Days of summer.

[Maggidy]

Every verse describes a different relationship I've been in...

[MrJohn6429]

lauren your music is not as well known as it should be every song ive heard by you is amazing :)

[saxon795]

Bet your neighbor was glad when you were done playing this song.

@SaintsCheat I've never listened to Bob Dylan or Jim Morrison. And these lyrics are far from as superficial as grabbing a beer. What do you listen to? Screamo? Rap? That you can compare to a cat trapped in a trashcan. This, you can't. She uses real natural instruments and she doesn't have to be autotuned. And these lyrics are complicated but relateable if you can find a way to connect it to yourself. Somebody has the emotional range of a teaspoon.

Holy jeebus Lauren... You ARE Dylan. Why isn't this on any of your CD's?!?

[moonjustus]

this song has a Bob Dylan flow to it..................i am really enjoying your music! especially the original stuff. Don't ever stop playing!

[oldvet53]

What a great talent!

[blackleatherrain]

Two things - I need to listen to this song more often. Also, I need your CD. On the list, certainly.

@SaintsCheat

I don't know how you can say talentless. Shes probably one of the most talented people out there. The people you like are a completely different genre of music, so you can't really compare them. And don't be a hipster tool and say we don't know real music, just because you like something different. Everybody has different taste.

[MandieLJ]

@SaintsCheat Talentless? Not true. You obviously haven't listened to more of her music, and you don't need to, but its ignorant to call her talentless having only heard this song. You're entitled to your opinion of this song and what you see of her from this one video. You don't need to listen to her music, its obviously not your taste.Just open your mind to the fact that just because you don't like something, that does't make it bad. I have no clue who Bob Dillon is, so that means nothing to me
