Suspended Disbelief

Lyrical selections from the 2000s

3AM Blues

Yeah, I've put my life on hold before,
waited for someone who never came,
swore it'd be the first time and the last
now here I am waiting once again.

It took me all my life to find you,
had you for a moment now you're gone,
don't know if it's me or the stars and planets,
just know that somewhere, something's wrong.

Well why'd you have to go?
I offered you my heart and soul.
How can a woman as hot as you
be so fucking cold?

I've never been much for drinking,
got drunk last night again,
started to curse you 'cos I miss you,
broke down in tears at 3AM.

Well why'd you have to go?
when I offered you my heart and soul.
How can a woman as hot as you
be so fucking cold?

This song "makes the cut" here because it's the first real blues piece I ever wrote. The lyrics were fun, part truthful however the lady in question was average, not hot but "how can a woman as average as you as you be so cold..." just doesn't have the same impact. Musically, I really like playing it, my favourite part being the bass line I wrote, a fun arching blues riff.
