7in7 - Day 1 "Something Foolish"

If you don't know what 7in7 is, check out this link --> link.

This is the first of 7 songs in 7 days. It was written on piano but by the time I was ready to record, I had no access to one. Please forgive the crappy garage-band recording. Enjoy (if you can) and be checking back for Song 2.


We met up to share summer stories
I did something foolish, did something stupid
I did something wrong

It's my fault. The blame's on my shoulders
I've tried escaping, I have tried running
but the burden's too strong

I did what I said I wouldn't do
You know I did what I said I wouldn't do

The countless tears that I caused
never fell from eyes so pretty
the pain I caused was watering the floor
I had no idea what I was doing
or, even worse, what I was losing
my heart broke the day that I broke yours

She sat there with a right to be angry
she kept her cool but you could see fire
behind her eyes

We stood there in a parking lot staring
I said "I'm sorry." I thought I meant it
she said goodbye.

I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye anymore

I did what I said I wouldn't do
You know I did what I said I wouldn't do

The countless tears that I caused
never fell from eyes so pretty
the pain I caused was watering the floor
I had no idea what I was doing
or, even worse, what I was losing
my heart broke the day that I broke yours
