about

This track was written about a situation in my life that I felt I could not control. There was a person who'd started out as a fan and then completely crossed the line.

I began receiving endless piles of unwanted post and about 10-15 emails per day, none of it making any sense. I was constantly worried this person would show up to my gigs and cause a scene as they did many times. Once I received a hand drawn map of my apartment building and the surrounding area in the post. For a long time I hoped this would just go away. It didn't. I felt trapped, followed, unsafe.

I'd asked this person politely a few times to leave me alone, to no avail. I didn't know what to do, I couldn't really go to the police as no crime had been committed.

Then one day I wrote this song, and it was cathartic. Through telling the story, I'd told myself what I had to do. I finally gathered the courage to talk to this person, not in a polite way like before, this time in a firm and harsh way. It was hard but the message got through. They left me alone after that and i never heard from them again.

I hold this song dear to my heart as it's not just a song, but a catalyst that actually helped to get me through a difficult situation in my life.

lyrics

You want to fall in love with me
But you got a problem yeah you don’t know what love is
I just want to be done with you
But I got a problem yeah I feel sorry for you

You focus so much energy on me
But you never ever get anything coming back your way
How can you live your life this way
So much time and all your money going to waste

It feels as though this could all be over
If I just had the strength to tell you so
You and me live in separate realities
But maybe you just don’t know

Maybe I am partly to blame
Cause I never really told you to go
I just always hoped your affections would fade
If I didn’t answer you for so many days

It feels as though this could all be over
If I just had the strength to tell you so
You and me live in separate realities
But maybe you just don’t know

Now you’re telling me
You could easily find the answer to it all
But the truth is
I wouldn’t even wait for your call

It feels as though this could all be over
If I just had the strength to tell you so
You and me live in separate realities
But maybe you just don’t know

Sorry to say goodbye
