about

An intriguing combination of reggae, rock, heartfelt lyricism, and hooky pop melodies that leaves the listener pondering the nature of the modern romantic relationship and how one's ego contributes to our perception of love. Enjoy!

lyrics

I tried a million times
And you say things are fine
But you look me in the eye
And I can tell it’s all a lie

Girl, you don’t deserve me
‘Cause all you do is hurt me
I thought I had your heart

I thought our love was true
My future was with you
Now you’ve thrown it all away
Time for a fresh start

It’s a funny thing
That we all go through
And love it stings
When you add attachment too

Strings, ball and chain
You can’t break loose
From all the suffering
That you self-induce
Cut me loose

I tried a million times
And it blew up in my face
Tried to be a better man
But what I need is better taste

Said you never would desert me
Told me ‘baby you can trust me’
But you sneak around with him
Anytime we are apart

I wondered what to do
When the bottom, it fell through
And I cannot bring myself
To love somebody new

It’s a funny thing
That we all go through
And love it stings
When you add attachment too

Strings, ball and chain
You can’t break loose
From all the suffering
That you self-induce
Cut me loose

And though I can’t replace you
Who says that I want to?
‘Cause it’s so good to live alone

And even now I can’t get you off of my mind
I know I’ll be fine
‘Cause everything fades in time

It’s a funny thing
That we all go through
And love it stings
When you add attachment too

Strings, ball and chain
You can’t break loose
From all the suffering
That you self-induce
Cut me loose

I tried a million times
And you say things are fine
But you look me in the eye
And I can tell it’s all a lie

Girl, you don’t deserve me
‘Cause all you do is hurt me
I thought I had your heart
