The idea for this song came from falling down the Reddit story rabbit hole on TikTok, hearing all kinds of relationship drama stories unfold, and rarely finding the end of the stories. Between that and the fun of writing relationship songs, I've had the music and some of the lyrics for this bouncing around in my head for a few days. Migraines kept me from pursuing it until now, and I'll have to work on a more complete demo later, but this will do for February Album Writing Month. I hope you like it.
Lyrics
You don't understand the situation
Don't have all the information
You can't make a good decision
So let me clue you in
We've been dating a while now
And you're taking it for granted
You see the way he sees you
And you think it's all you need
It's the thrill of the chase, it's all he's after
He'll claim you and move on, leave you all alone
Are you really gonna, really gonna, really gonna, really gonna
Really do that to us?
Are you really gonna, really gonna, really gonna, really gonna
Really do that to us?
Throw away our love?
Back when we first started
One look from me would get your heart up
Somewhere along the way
It stopped being enough
The grass is always greener
At least that's what they say
If you don't tend your garden
That color always fades
It's the thrill of the chase, it's all you're after
You'll be claimed and move on, always alone
Are you really gonna, really gonna, really gonna, really gonna
Really do that to us?
Are you really gonna, really gonna, really gonna, really gonna
Really do that to us?
Throw away our love?
Think back on all we've been through
The challenges we've faced
Our dreams of growing old
And all the loving that we've made
It's the thrill of the chase, and I'm still on it
You're more than some prize, I'll love you always
Are you really gonna, really gonna, really gonna, really gonna
Really do that to us?
Are you really gonna, really gonna, really gonna, really gonna
Really do that to us?
Don't throw away our love.
