“The early demos came from a period where we were super infatuated with the west coast sound of the 1970’s.” he has said. “Listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac, Doobie Brothers, Eagles etc. Lyrically it is one of my most honest and personal songs and it feels great to finally release it into the wild...
[Verse 1]
I would never lie to you
But it's hard when the truth is such a shame
I never wanted to say I'm sorry
But sorry is all I can say
[Chorus]
Is it really all that bad when I dream?
Yeah, I dream about you
You know that a lot of the things you say
About me were never true
[Post-Chorus]
I've lost a few good friends lately
And I think it's my fault, not theirs
I was never a fake or phony
I just needed a change, I guess
Why does it feel so good
To be self-destructing again?
[Verse 2]
It's way too cold in the winter, baby
For you to be alone in your bed
I don't need to know when it happens
But just know that I'm still there
[Chorus]
Is it really all that bad when I dream?
Yeah, I dream about you
You know that a lot of the things you say
About me were never true
[Post-Chorus]
I've lost a few good friends lately
And I think it's my fault, not theirs
I was never a fake or phony
I just needed a change, I guess
Why does it feel so good
To be self-destructing again?
[Bridge]
I guess you're doing alright
I don't hear from you like I used to do
I never really thought I'd get through it
I'm still here without you
[Post-Chorus]
I've lost a few good friends lately
And I think it's my fault, not theirs
I was never a fake or phony
I just needed a change, I guess
Why does it feel so good
To be self-destructing again?
[Outro]
Just self-destructing again
Just self-destructing again
