lyrics

Lyrics:

They say it’s better to have had and lost than not
But I always want what I haven’t got

Because I’d rather be at home
All alone on my phone
Instead of taking off your clothes
To watch you go as soon as we get close
I’ve been here before
and I’d hoped this was different
But if pigs had wings they’d fly

In your mind
Was the means to the end justified?
‘Cause you were something special in my eyes
But I guess that’s just how it flies
When you cast pearls before swine

I can’t hear a single word you say
Because I see the things you do and the two don’t correlate

There must be something wrong with me
‘Cause I keep finding these
Girls who only fuck with me
For a week
Just to leave

Just please don’t come to me
For company
When the tables rearrange
And by the way

Did you ever come to find
That the means to the end was justified?
‘Cause you were something special in my eyes
But I guess that’s just how it flies
When you cast pearls before swine
And what’s sad to me
Is my ability to make a tragedy
Out of something that once made me happy
But that’s just how it has to be
When you cast pearls before swine

This type of chemistry’s
An amphetamine
You’re like ecstasy
Got my heart beating incessantly
This kind of energy
Would be the death of me
but you left me on the edge of my seat
You would be back in a month
Is what you said to me
But I guess that we’re never gonna see
Because you’re fucking him now
Instead of me

Evan Knapp Los Angeles, California

I'm a singer, songwriter, and bassist from Upstate New York currently making music in Los Angeles, CA.

It's taken me a while to get to the point where I can release my own music and have a pretty big backlog to get through, so be on the lookout for new tunes.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know of any comments/criticisms! ... more
