Never Write A Song

from Recovery Mission by MIDI Myers

/

lyrics

Never write a song
never fall in love
it'll only break your heart
it'll take your body apart

never join a band
never make a plan
it'll all come caving in
there'll be no saving it, then

but there's just no helping it
you'll do it anyway
you'll make the mistakes you'll make

it's not even that it's worth it
it's not even that you'll miss it
it's just that there's no helping it
there's just no helping it
so... write the song.

when I saw your face
so many years ago
I knew you were wrong for me
But then you wrote a song for me

red flags every step
faults that I ignored
but I thought, hey, I'll take a chance
Heard the notes, let my body dance

there was no helping it
I did it anyway
I made the mistakes that I would make, so predictable

It wasn't worth it
Can't say I miss it
But at the time, there was no helping it
there was just no helping it
so it seemed, but...

I cringe when I think about the things you said, the things you did
I wake up in the night, remembering, and shake my head, feel the weight of it,
I catalogue the years of problems I overlooked, that could fill a book
The song came out all wrong, it would not resolve, despite the pain I took.

There was no helping it
You hurt me anyway
Wrote it out to the end of the line
Looking back, I didn't deserve it
You know what? I don't forgive it
There was no helping you.
I had to go on without you
I had to finish the song.

about

MIDI Myers Boston, Massachusetts

I'm an electro-pop musician who goes by "MIDI Myers," a tribute to my actual name (Maddy Myers) and the MIDI pad that I use when I play live, in conjunction with my keytar and live vocals. My lyrics often blend honest accounts of my own life experiences and anxieties with humor and pop culture allusions, all set to keytar leads, electronic drums, and a comprehensive bank of MIDI synths. ... more
