about

Snow day gave me extra time when my brain works best- before 11am...
I also had a week to think about changes, since I posted so early last week.

Added lyrics to chorus/ restructured verse to give emphasis to chorus... rewrote bridge chords and re-recorded the whole shebang... with keys in place of guitar on verse, and extra guitars on chorus.

lyrics

Can't get my heart around..
Oh, not since you let me down
can't get back up again
you knocked me to my knees and now I'm beggin' for sin

I've got a hopeless sickness
yeah, a heapin' feeling of loss
I'm having a hard time fitting this
inside this little broken box

can't seem to come around
since you picked my heart out and threw it on the ground
and then you call me friend
take the knife out and put it back in again

I've got a hopeless sickness
yeah, a heapin' feeling of loss
I'm having a hard time fitting this
inside this little broken box
a big ol’ anchor of illness
that is pulling me further down
Not sure what’ll get me through this
the circle is spinning round

Oh, I try to put it back together
yeah I try to make you stay
I try to tell you things will be different
but you keep on walking away

I've got a hopeless sickness
yeah, a heapin' feeling of loss
I'm having a hard time fitting this
inside this little broken box
a big ol’ anchor of illness
that is pulling me further down
Not sure what’ll get me through this
the circle is spinning round
