about

this has been sitting in my drafts, so I wanna share it.

I found this piano cover on youtube a few months ago, always listened to it as it's somber & not exactly the same as the original DCFC song.

I really liked it, and I felt this kinda matched the vocal idea I had.

so, here is a sad song, lol.

lyrics

This is the moment that you know
That you told her that you loved her but you don't
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me

Yeah, she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me
I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking
As we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that I was telling
All the playful misspellings
And every bite I gave you left a mark
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn't want to fade
But they did, and so did I that day

All I see are dark gray clouds
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask, "Is something wrong?"
I think, "You're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now
No, we can't talk about it now"
So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap

And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
