“Curses”
written and composed by: Emily Jones (c)2006 (album: Dragonbait) 

i’m thinking to myself again, why is it up to me to make amends?
let it roll off my back and then turn my head and pretend?
getting through to you trying to break the curse
your thoughts are cryptive your answers worse
leaving me standing out in the rain again
it falls down around me while your lies sink in

why do I listen to you, even offer a chance?
what is it about you that I can’t turn back?
though you’re lost in your thoughts you have much to say
i catch myself thinking, “can we really relate?”

chorus:

it’s like pushing the moon away
but the tide keeps coming in
the waves keep rolling in
and i’m taking the blame again

*steve’s guitar solo*

talking to me in circles again, telling me things you don’t tell anyone
tomorrow you won’t know me, frustration sets in
now it’s all over
you showed me the way i don’t want to go
the person i don’t want to be
for that i suppose i can thank you
because of you i can be me.

-chorus-

i gave you a chance, i let you in
took a step and forgave again
i just can’t hold you up anymore
maybe i’m not the one
maybe i’m not the one
baby
you’re looking for
