Name: Singing Desperately
Duration: P00H03M26S
Description: Alison and I have been together for over 10 years. I’m a very different person than I was when I met her. This song is about my history of dismissing her experiences; projecting my own anxiety, anger, frustration, and embarrassment onto her; and the process of unlearning these traits.

about

Alison and I have been together for over 10 years. I’m a very different person than I was when I met her. This song is about my history of dismissing her experiences; projecting my own anxiety, anger, frustration, and embarrassment onto her; and the process of unlearning these traits.

lyrics

I find it funny
how you find it sad.
Keep telling myself,
I can’t be that bad.

You’re thinking of me differently;
I’m thinking of myself.
I’m starting to stop as we speak;
I’m starting to lose.
I’m falling asleep and I am
sorry again.

I’m aware I’ve begun to believe too much,
r. Recoiling from your tender touch,
;. Believin’ believin’believing
I’m this way for a reason.

You’re thinking of me differently;
I’m thinking of myself.
I’m starting to stop as we speak;
I’m starting to lose.
I’m falling asleep and I am
sorry again.
