Away from home so lyrics only.
Let Down
V1 Cant find my way through this
There seems to be no fix
Coz Love hate and testosterone
Is such a dangerous mix
V2 A mates a mate a mates a mate
Amo amas im ready
I really thought you already know
That we were going steady
C Well i thought we it had worked out
Well not exact but sort er
Now everything is broken
Im just left treading water
V3 So now you’ve really let me down
Our friendship gone in flames
Seems such a waste
To play these worthless games
V4 She was my girl you know
Yes i know you knew
You must have known the consequences
You must have thought it through
C Well i thought we it had worked out
Well not exact but sort er
Now everything is broken
Im just left treading water
B so now whats left
I guess thats how it ends
Nobody gets to win
And I’ve lost my 2 best friends
C Well i thought we it had worked out
Well not exact but sort er
Now everything is broken
Im just left treading water

Wow, these lyrics cut and I love it! Your writing is very smart on this, that first verse drew me right in. I especially love the "Coz Love hate and testosterone / Is such a dangerous mix", this would be impressive even if it wasn't written as a skirmish.

I loved the love hate and testosterone line, that really set it up right. Then the A mate’s a mate line sets the expectations, before the poor fellow’s disappointment sets in. A great progression through this really well constructed lyric!

What a great lyric! I love the use of the Latin conjugation,, and this line, “Well not exact but sort er.” And, of course, “I’ve lost my 2 best friends.” Nice job!

Your story unfolds as we discover a whole new dimension part way through. Well told story.
Thanks for showing up.

I like this exploration of a not quite solidly defined place. It’s got good rhyme and flow and the kind of emotional logic that this kind of experience ought to have.
@tjeff Feb 2022
A tough circumstance, and you tell the story well. I really like the image of being left treading water in such a situation. Good stuff!

This is powerful - lyric really hits home. Hope to hear with music at some point.
@fearlessflight2014 Feb 2022
Wow the helplessness really hits you in this lyric! It is so emotionally dense and evocative -awesome skirmish!

Clever write. I like the approach. Not what I expected.
