about

An acoustic version of a rejection love song about someone I knew, but instead dedicated to my friend, the amazing, the fantastic, the ever-adroit and effulgent Olivia! Liv worked at the cafe where I attended open mic nights every other week and she was one of my biggest fans, simply by working in the place where I wouldn't put down my guitar and shut up. Thanks Liv, you're the best.

Tuning: DADGAd

lyrics

Two question that I
Can't get off my mind
Do I know you?
And do you know me in kind?

It's possible I've only seen what
You make yourself out to be and
As for me
I can fool my own eyes

Wait a minute, let me
Explain myself
I'm not in love with you, I just
Don't know what I felt

It's too good to be true
One day I was lonely, and the next day I met you
It's too good to believe
You looked like you were lonely and now you're stuck with me

Two thoughts that I
Think you should know
That I'm hoping
That you don't get bored of me

The other thought I can't recall but it was
Probably along the lines of
Something about liking you? Ah, I can't remember. It's probably not that important. Anyway,

Wait a minute, let me express myself
I am in love with you, I know exactly what I felt

It's too good to be true
One day I was lonely, and the next day I met you
It's too great to believe
You looked like you were lonely, and now you're stuck with me

As far as stories go, this one
Isn't too impressive
It's not all that transgressive, It's just
Pretty standard stuff

But here comes the twist,
It's not all that surprising it's just
Unrequited love

It's too bad to believe
I thought that you were lonely, turns out that was me
It's too bad to be true
But that's the end of the story, the story of me and you

Hey!
