lyrics

IT WAS OVER

it was over
before it ever began
what were we thinking?

where were our minds when
our bodies were intertwined?
oh, where were our minds?

it was over our heads
a technical joke
why weren't we laughing?

where were our hearts when
everything came crashing down?
oh, where were our hearts?

remember you once told me
"home is not the same without you here"
oh, my dear
and all of these stupid words and cliches ringing
in my ears remind me that you're not here
and it's over...

it was overdue
we knew it needed to end
so why did we fight it?

where were our guts when
it came time to give it up?
oh, where were our guts?

remember you once told me
"home is not the same without you here"
oh, my dear
and all of these stupid words and cliches ringing
in my ears remind me that you're not here
and it's over...

Iowa Anvil
by The Graze

The Graze is easily my favorite band in Seattle. Louis O'Callahan's writing style is right up my alley, it doesn't do him justice to say but he could be Kurt Cobain and Jeff Mangum's bastard child. The Way It Is
