about

After watching a very powerful performance by Betty LaVette, I went home and wrote this song.

lyrics

I GIVE MYSELF AWAY

I give myself away just to make you feel okay
About feeling nothin’ even when we make love

You said one time, everything would be, oh it would be just fine
If only you could accept it
But can you?

What is it about a girl like you?
You can walk through so much pain
But when it comes to love, I’m sorry to say
Deflects it
And what a sad, sad thing
How you deflect it

So I won’t think about
The way things used to be, oh no I won’t
I’ll just drink it all away, and you, you’ll never touch that place in me
Never

What is it about a girl like me?
I give myself away
Just to love someone and I’m sorry to say
You, deflect it
And what a sad, sad thing
How you deflect it

One day one day
You gonna know what you walked away from
And maybe you’ll see, maybe you’ll see
All the good in me like I do today
I’m sorry to say

What is it about a girl like you?
You can walk through so much pain
But when it comes to love, I’m sorry to say
You, deflect it
And what a sad, sad thing
How you deflect it
So sad
How you
