lyrics

She cries a river of tears and an ocean of sorrow
I don’t know how to calm her waters down
I want to be there for her through the rain and through the snow
January gets so cold when the wind blows
And she said...

“Please don’t say that you love me
But you’re going away
I’ll expect to be lonely honey
But you still have time to save me”

Deep down she is troubled despite all the love she gives
I’m just a broken record who thinks she’s too negative
I know she wants to try again and take another chance
But I gotta keep moving on babe where the sidewalk ends

“Please don’t say that you love me
But you’re going away
I’ll expect to be lonely honey
But you still have time to save me”

I got so much to do, I have to stop myself from calling you
You can sit and wait by the phone
But if it don’t ring, you think you’re still alone

She can’t wait another day for me to realize
She’s going to take it upon herself to help me decide
Sitting in the car, watching the ice melt
I get so damn depressed, unable to reach out
And she said...

“Please don’t say that you love me
But you’re going away
I’ll expect to be lonely honey
But you still have time to save me”

Matt Focht (Faders) — the Chicago pop auteur whose music The Chicago Tribune hailed “as forward-looking and thrilling as indie rock gets,” returns with “Weight of the City,” an ambitious new musical project that combines the hypnotizing folk of Neil Young, the collective spirit of The Band, and the guitar bliss of Big Star.

"Please Don't Say" is the tip of the spear for an album from the heart. ... more
