about

Rocker, written just after high school. Probably my oldest song.

lyrics

I can’t ignore all of the pain you made me feel
for the sake of being friends; you know that friendship don’t feel real
And I don’t expect that you will apologize
for the selfishness I see when I look into your eyes

We could stay friends if that’s what you wanna do
After all, you’ve always done whatever’s good for you
But I refuse to take the pain while you’re okay
No, I don’t wanna live that way

You made me sad, you made me hang my head and cry
when you told me you were thinkin’ that our love was gonna die
So what kind of lousy, spineless coward would I be
if I just lay down and let you walk all over me?

[guitar solo]

We could stay friends if that’s what you wanna do
After all, you’ve always done whatever’s good for you
But I refuse to take the pain while you’re okay
No, I don’t wanna live that way
