quick recording, not quite the right vibe, but time has been tight this year. Keeping the melody tho :)
A Piece of Me Nanci Hobson February 13,2022
You didn’t want the ring
You didn’t want the couch
Said you didn’t want things
That I cared about
You didn’t want the cups
We picked out at the thrift store
You just didn’t want
To be together no more
You could have taken all the memories
Then this damned place wouldn’t feel so empty
You could have left it honestly
You didn’t have to take a piece of me.
You didn’t want the bed
And that just hurt more
I’d get a better sleep
Laying on the floor
You left a pile of hope
I got no reason to keep
You left everything
But the one I need
You could have taken all the memories
Then this damned place wouldn’t feel so empty
You could have left it honestly
You didn’t have to take a piece of me.
You coulda been a liar
You coulda been a cheat
Both would have been
Lot easier on me
When you saw me cryin’
You coulda walked out that door
You didn’t have to hold
Me for so long
You could have taken all the memories
Then this damned place wouldn’t feel so empty
You could have left it honestly
You didn’t have to take a piece of me.
You could have left it honestly
You didn’t have to take a piece of me.

Nice write: the idea that if the Other had taken everything the singer would feel less bereft is glorious. I can hear this on a big rock arena stage, honestly.

Oh the melody is stunning. Really cool guitar playing too. Really enjoyed listening to this. Definitely a keeper.
