lyrics

How did it get this bad and I never noticed?
How did we even reach this conversation?
Your cards on the table now
And an ultimatum
I want a compromise
You want a confrontation

So I’ll turn away onto my side
Tears on the pillow will dry overnight
And you’ll lay awake and calculation concessions
Return on investments
Guess you expected more
What kind of woman
Is keeping score?

What kind of man
Do you think that I am?
Should I stand on my hind legs?
And beg for you

Love is acceptance
Love is trust
When the wind in your sails
No longer prevails
You learn to adjust

How could you just pretend like you never noticed?
You did your best to avoid this conversation
I’m not some child bride
In need of placation
You want diplomacy
But I want communication

So turn away again onto your side
Lick your wounds and shield your pride
And I’ll lay awake and count the cracks on the ceiling
Another sleepless night
With that familiar feeling
What kind of woman
Carries on believing?

What kind of man
Can’t understand?
Just showing up’s not good enough
For me

‘Cause love is acceptance
Love is trust
But the heart is a pump
And you let it rust

Maybe it’s time to resign
To hand in our notice
Maybe we’ve gone beyond this conversation
Cards on the table
And a line in the sand
What love would be able
To withstand?

But nothing ventured
Nothing gained
No reason why we ought
To feel ashamed

‘Cause love is acceptance
Love is trust
We played our hands
And we both went bust

Love is acceptance
Love is trust
We played our hands
And we both went bust

Louis Brennan London, UK

London-based Dubliner Louis Brennan is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late-stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate ... more
