James Austin Melton - I Won't Write Another

from Uvarious Artists Vol​.​12 by Various Artists

/

about

At its core, this song is about unrequited love. It's something we have all felt at one point in our lives. The lyrics deal with breaking up with the person you've built up in your own head and coming to terms with the fact that you really fell in love with a phantom aspect of the person.

This song appears Will Made Manifest, which was recorded, performed and produced by James Austin Melton during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21.

lyrics

I Won’t Write Another
Copyright 2020
By James Austin Melton

VERSE I
I’m getting tired of being your receptacle of love and loss.
Tell me all about it, tell me, tell me more about how she’s lovely.

VERSE II
There’s a smile going on while I nod as a friend should do when he’s listening.
But underneath these pleasantries and conversations, I die every time I see your eyes looking away from me.

CHORUS I
And I won’t write another love song about you. No, I won’t cry no more.

VERSE III
I’ve been standing right here with my intentions so clear, you should see right through me.
It’s either ignorance or bliss or desperation for a kiss that keeps me a-waiting on you and has you oblivious.

VERSE IV
It’s not fair to you or right for me, but I’ll take any scraps you throw -- inadvertently, accidentally incredibly.
I made an effigy of you from all the scraps you threw. Oh, what I’d give to be in one of those stories you tell.

CHORUS II
And I won’t write another love song about you. No, I won’t cry no more.
I won’t write another love song about you. No, I won’t cry no more.
