Lyrics by Amanda Schiano di Cola, written after a rocky relationship gave way. I found the lyrics somehow mysterious at the time, but now they seem quite straightforward, and rather brilliant.
In fact, the music is partially by Amanda as well; she had never written music for her own song before, but when asked for chords, she chose at random: "G# Gm F A D". This became the verse and the first two chords of the chorus.
Recording:
Track 1: MIDI drums/bass/keys
2: Acoustic Guitar
3-4: Vocals
Lyrics:
Break your heart
Where do I start
It’s not you
Wait yeah it is
Start with a phone call
Pretend it’s all normal
Lose my nerve
Hang up with an I love you
And I love you
After two weeks
Feeling a bit weak
Feeling pathetic
I love you
No spine to stand straight
No tears to cry
Just a lie to fake
Just another five
No love to forget
No memories to miss
Just wanna end it
Just to find pure bliss
Break my heart
Tear it apart
It must be me
Because you’re perfect
Why did you call
Your voice started to fall
Saying to me
We need to talk
And we need to talk
It’s still going on
What’s going on?
You’re confusing me
We need to talk
No spine to stand straight
No tears to cry
Just a lie to fake
Just another five
No love to forget
No memories to miss
Just wanna end it
Just to find pure bliss
