it's really hard to catch a buzz

#012 - The Love That Never Was - 2006

The Love That Never Was is one more from "The Gun Show." I kind of had the idea for the chorus/title way before I had anything else. It was partially due to a bogus "online relationship" I was in at the time that had me miserable (and ultimately forced me to swear off online dating in any way shape or form). Anyway, it's a testament to relationships that die and carry on despite the fact there's nothing left or there was nothing there to begin with.

"The Love That Never Was"

See I could drink a fifth of gin

And sit here with a crooked grin

I’ll ponder why I let you in

When my whole life is one big sin

An empty look upon your face

The look that fuels my endless chase

I need to plot my great escape

To flee from you without a trace

It’s really hard to catch a buzz

When you’re making such a fuss

You’re rambling on and on about trust

And a love that never was

A love that never was

A love that never was

You know I’m seeing all the signs

The ones that read “You’re doing time”

Wishing I could hit rewind

To a place where love was truly blind

Now you know I can’t refrain

From calling you my ball and chain

I’m trying so hard to maintain

But you’ve pushed me too far past insane

It’s really hard to catch a buzz

When you’re making such a fuss

You’re rambling on and on about trust

And a love that never was

A love that never was

A love that never was

This game’s so played and so obscene

You know it makes me want to scream

And truthfully this whole thing seems

Like my big nightmare your wet dream

Looks like the end’s not far away

I’m praying for it every single day

Cuz right now I’m too torn and frayed

And I’ve just got nothing good to say

It’s really hard to catch a buzz

When you’re making such a fuss

You’re rambling on and on about trust

And a love that never was

A love that never was

A love that never was

It’s really hard to catch a buzz

When you’re making such a fuss

You’re rambling on and on about trust

And a love that never was

A love that never was

A love that never was
