NEW SONG: ONLY A LITTLE

this one's kinda rootsy. that kinda freaks me out, actually. i try and repress it but every 9 or 10 songs, it grows back like a weed.

the song doesn't exactly end with a lot of hope. I should probably change that dark shit if i ever expect to make any money with this music thing. whoops -- too late. ~ john

ONLY A LITTLE
copyright john common

Let’s start at the end
It’s a smart thing to do
We’ll end up as friends
Safe and subdued
Before we bare all the ugly scars
And give it away
Before we fall hard
I got something to say

You’re gonna break this heart
But only a little
I act so tough, but I’m just brittle
Let’s keep the horse behind the cart
And break this heart
But only a little

I’m a time machine
I’ve been here before
I saw how this ends
Before you walked in the door
I know it sounds like I’m in reverse
But we gotta run before we crawl
It’s a special kind of curse
To see the writing on the wall

You’re gonna break this heart
But only a little
I act so tough, but I’m just brittle
Let’s keep the horse behind the cart
And break this heart
But only a little

I’m out of faith and don’t know how to pray
But even then I think there might be a way
A tiny hope that I never talk about
A little voice in the storm says maybe there’s some way out
Maybe there’s some way out
Maybe there’s some way out

Have I turned you away?
Have I broken the spell?
You’re getting ready to leave
I know all the tells
But before you go I have one request
Before you disappear in flight
Kick my heart out of the nest
And prove that I was right

You’re gonna break this heart
But only a little
I act so tough, but I’m just brittle
Let’s keep the horse behind the cart
And break this heart
But only a little
