about

This is a song I wrote and composed regarding a Valentine's Day date at home gone wrong after an obvious relapse. This is a song about love, disappointment, shame, and addiction. I hope the story touches you as it did for me.

lyrics

This is nothing like our first date
And I know you wish things would change
And I wish it didn't go this way
Push me out of the frame
And I bet you see my hands shake
As I make you a plate
Grab the glass of Chardonnay
I bet you see my hands shake

I bet you see my hands shake
I bet you see my hands shake
I bet you can see my hands shake
I bet you can see my hands shake
I bet you can see my hands shake
I bet you can see my hands shake
Bet you can see my hands shake
I bet you can see my hands shake

And every promise that I break
If you leave, that's okay
Cuz I know the toll that this takes
I see the pain that's on your face
And I bet you see my hands shake
And I burned dinner by mistake
Can you just order in, that way
You don't have to see my hands shake

I broke your glass, I'm in a daze
Is this the price of love you pay
And if it's not love, can you fake
Please don't watch me decay
And I bet you see my hands shake
5 years, you kept a good face
And you know that I'll be wide awake
Til we're past Valentine's Day
