about

About this song:

This song was also released on the self-titled Dave E. Nation record in 2014. This is another song written deep in the clutches of pessimism. I felt like a rock. A rock holding everyone I cared about down. I was writing a lot of songs but felt like the people I wanted to hear it and hear me weren't listening. I wanted my life to be better and different, but didn't know how to make the steps to make that happen.

If you want to change and don't know how. Don't give up, small things can lead to big things.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I can't believe i'm holding myself together
i don't think i'll last much longer in this weather
dark clouds are forming
i better take cover
this lightning is lighting the night
brighter the sun in summer

I'm singing to myself again
if only i had something to say
i would make you fall
if i didn't have to change at all

i can't believe, i can't believe that i'm still alive
not because i wanna be dead
but these negative thoughts seem to thrive
on the stupid things that i've done
the stupid things that i do
like lying awake at night
talking to myself
(or) thinking about you

if anyone deserves to be happy
i'd put a check mark right by your name
but if anyone is holding you back
i'm the one to blame
