There's a scar on my lip
One that you can't help but kiss
From when I was a kid
I got it like this
See I was three years old, maybe younger still
I crashed headlong into a window sill
And was surprised when I broke instead of it
That's the scar that's on my lip
That's what you're kissing when we kiss.

When you leave, you'll be fine.

When it gets real late
So late that it's not late anymore
And I'm alone, awake
Just creaking with the floors
I can ask the sun to let me sleep
Don't know what stake it holds in the hours I keep
Well I'll push it down
But these burning hands won't seem to do
All my efforts fall right through
The morning makes me think of you.

When you leave, you'll be fine.

But if we're talking about distractions
Everything is a distraction
Except when your blood flows
When your heart beats
And when your ribs rise
When your lungs breathe
If the earth moves
Where will you be
With what you love more
Where does that put me?

When you leave, you'll be fine.

When will you put this up for sale on your site?

[LaurenOC12]

Eh this recording is so shoddy that I probably won't put this one up. Hopefully I'll have a better recording soon.

[moot8107]

This is beautiful. Could you share the chords?

[LaurenOC12]

Sure. Send me a message so I don't forget.

[smokeverbs]

My heart fucking hurts when I watch you sing this. Thank you.

[LaMeIsCoolifURme]

I'd like to let you know that you've provided much inspiration

[thenoiboi]

[smokeverbs]

With what you love more, where does that put me?

I know it's 2 years past now, but... Don't think you're inferior. As you live, you'll come to understand the triviality of spending time on people that are not worth it.

[intelceleron11]

This is just painful to see the story unfold.... But I know why you do it.

Found this by mistake but I think it's really good. Sometimes, the mistakes we make result in stopping, listening and starting over, refreshed. I love when that happens. It just happened. Very nice. Keep up the playing and singing! thanks for the pleasant mistake!

[drogbasrs]

congratulations !

@LaurenOC12 ... but it won't be better than this one. Maybe you don't understand. We identify with this one. Something polished will not be the same.

Wunderschön !!!

Your voice is so honest and true. I absolutely love listening to you. My heart kind of lingers on your voice. I'm a song writer and i'd love to one day write songs like this. Do you have any advice?
