about

ANOTHER deluded lyric! My most bluesy 12/8 feel song yet - trying to get a bit of that Ray Charles feel into my writing here...one day hey!
Oh and Jim Mullen just nailed it - this was the only take of this song..

lyrics

I don't care - if it's cloudy or grey
And if the sun - doesn't come out to day
And if I never, never see you again
Well I know - it's just got to be that way

I don't mind - if you won't look at me
When we pass on the street - so awkwardly
And all that stuff we shared
The broken bed, the jokes, the fights, the books we read
they're all gone...
And it's just to be that way

No I don't miss - the way we kiss
Never remember, don't try to reminisce
Don't you back, I only loved you because
You liked me, simply for who I was

So if I sit, and stare, don't want to go out
It's really nothing to worry about
I'm good, I'm fine, I'm really ok
And I know...
It's Just got to Be That Way!
