Hurt Me Now (Feb 7, 2009)

I was in the process of moving back to Charlotte, I distinctively remember the day that I blogged this....and who I was with :-) incidentally, at the time I changed the gender of the person I'm writing about to protect HER identity....lol.....it was a she....not a he.

Hurt me now...

A friend of mine recently told me of a confusing situation that he's in....he's dating someone who is the perfect "someone" in most aspects of her life...she's career minded, she's extremely intellectual, she's a perfect fit in so many ways.... he could see himself falling in love with her....and yet he's lived enough to weigh the things that are not good fits in his relationship with her....there's a child in the middle of all this....a child who does not need more people walking out of his life down the line...and my friend is concerned....he says that he wants so badly for it to work out....and yet he's so afraid of making the wrong choice.....he's wondering if now's the time to walk away before the damage is greater.....he knows that things will be rough for a little bit but he knows that if it goes on much longer, it will be infinitely harder and more traumatic to walk away from it.............he's also afraid of losing what otherwise would be the perfect woman...and he's really confused.....I'm prayin for ya buddy....I know you'll make the right choice...............
Anyways, being the songwriter that I am I could not help but think about the concept of walking away from a situation before the damage is greater.....I write songs most days, but tonight this one just kinda poured itself out of me....I love the melody and again! in a few months when my home studio is up and running, all of these posted lyrics will have music attached to them....hope you like them......
 
 
I DON'T WANNA HURT ANYMORE

So many words...that we wanna say
So many reasons to not walk away....
but just like you, I've been here too
the mind is strong, the heart runs away
Uneasy sunshine turns to rain
faster than a broken kiss decays....
Empty days out there looking for some pain
Like a cold sun that's looking for rays...

You've said enough, for me to know
that these fleeting moments are all that we'll know
But if I leave tonight, I'll be allright
the shadows fall, the birds taking flight

An easy winds carries me away
knowing that the tears of today
are all the tears I'm gonna cry
I'll take them tonight, we'll be allright

I CAN LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FLOOR
I CAN LEAVE MY HEART AT THE DOOR
AND COUNT MY LOSSES AND RUN
LEAVE YOU WITH THE TOUCH OF A FRIEND
IF WE AGREE THAT THIS IS THE END
AND KNOW WE GAVE IT A CHANCE
I DONT WANNA HURT ANYMORE
I DON'T WANNA HURT ANYMORE,
THAN WHAT I KNOW I'LL HURT TONIGHT
you look at me, like I'm a fool
and in your heart you know that it's true
you'll make me feel, like I betray
but it ends tonight and I know that someday

when what you're searching finds it's way
here to your side, you'll say
yeah, that I knew...that it was true
and you'll be glad that I ran away


I CAN LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FLOOR
I CAN LEAVE MY HEART AT THE DOOR
AND COUNT MY LOSSES AND RUN
LEAVE YOU WITH THE TOUCH OF A FRIEND
IF WE AGREE THAT THIS IS THE END
AND KNOW WE GAVE IT A CHANCE
I DONT WANNA HURT ANYMORE
I DON'T WANNA HURT ANYMORE,
THAN WHAT I KNOW I'LL HURT YOU TONIGHT

I DON'T WANNA HURT ME ANYMORE
DON'T WANNA HURT YOU ANYMORE

I CAN LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FLOOR
I CAN LEAVE MY HEART AT THE DOOR
AND COUNT MY LOSSES AND RUN
LEAVE YOU WITH THE TOUCH OF A FRIEND
BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT IT WAS THE END
AND KNOW WE GAVE IT A CHANCE
I DONT WANNA HURT ANYMORE
I DON'T WANNA HURT ANYMORE,
THAN WHAT I KNOW I'LL HURT TONIGHT...
