What Makes You Say The Things You Do?
Up tempo rock song with a sweet solo at the end. Solo hints at frustration, but mostly conveys feelings of lamentation of unfulfilled expectations
I play all instruments and sing (weakly!)
Just me right now, recently started recording.
Story behind the song
Up tempo rock song, sung from the 1st person, wondering why the lover would rather engage in petty B.S. than spend time loving one another.
Lyrics
From a stream mighty rivers flow
From a seed giant redwoods grow
From petty hate a rage erupts
Blaming me...claiming innocence
The things you say you must believe
That time we waste, can be retrieved
This rancid air I cannot breathe.
I lace my shoes, but I don?t leave.
Chorus
What makes you say the things you do?
Though I search can't find a clue!
Do you have a point to prove?
What makes you say the hurtful things you do?
Should I retreat, or find a way
To turn my cheek and end the fray
Or dig my feet and make a stand
Execute the battle plan!
What makes you say the things you do?
Smothered by your stubborn point of view
Just wanna share a love that's true!
What makes you say the hurtful things you do?
Things we find are the things we know
Things we hide become the things we show!
I believe the hurt we throw
Leaves no room for love to grow
We recognize the things we know
Children of the seeds we sow!
What makes you say the things you do?
Time to lace the running shoes!
You say it's me, I think it's you!
What makes you say the hurtful things you do?
What makes you say the things you do?
Pummeled by your stubborn point of view.
You say it's me, I think it's you!
What makes you say the hurtful things you do?
You're blinded by your stubborn point of view?..
I can't recall a hate so true!
