01 Running In Circles

http://mrrriahleigh.tumblr.com/

I sounded drunk. I don't drink. What the muff?
Sorry about my severe cold. :p

So everyone knows. I have written and sequenced a 10 song EP. I'm posting the Number and title of the track, along with an acoustic live version of it in my dining room, and editing it while blowing my nose due to the cold I suffered this week. Through the songs, you will hear my voice crack and me mess up a wee bit, due to that terrible cold, but deadlines are deadlines, and even though there wasn't a deadline, I pretend there was. I'm hoping you enjoy! Thank you to everyone who put me through enough hell this year that I could have written 275 songs (but who's counting?). Truly, thanks.

Lyrics.

[V1]
I keep staring out my window, as if
Every name and number on my arm can
Bring you back, I want it back
Because, Im tired, shoes worn, from being so lost
And I just can not find whats wrong
Or get you back, I want it back
[P]
But I keep finding me running in circles, again
Trying my hardest to avoid whats in my head
[C]
Ive got this box full of letters, with your name on it
And it kills me every time I open it
Full of the good times, and my worst times
The times that you put through to me
That my words just never were worth the time
And I could swear
I miss when I could consider myself
Fine
[V2]
And you know, Ive hit an all time low for me
And I swear if I could, I would change
These polyester hearts being sewn to our clothes
And ripping at the seems of the promises we broke
Because when everything is nothing
Cause Im overanalyzing everything you say to me
Runs through my head
And I cant find the words to say
That Im really, really sorry for trying
My best to be brave
[P]
But I keep finding me running in circles, again
Trying my hardest to avoid whats in my head
[C]
Ive got this box full of letters, with your name on it
And it kills me every time I open it
Full of the good times, and my worst times
The times that you put through to me
That my words just never were worth the time
And I could swear
I miss when I could consider myself
Fine

You've come a really long way over the past few years Mariah. I remember when you were just starting out and you've improved a whole lot. I'm proud of you. I really am.
