Before, I thought this song was directed at my ex-wife but having now slightly moved on I feel it's directed to me. I was the prisoner of my own despair, but also the guard and something in that was comforting. Food for thought
You are the prisoner And you are the guard You are the one who constructed the bars And despite this protection You still end up scarred Cos people are people They are who they are I was no better or worse than the fray Who did conspire to take you and hide you away But I never wanted you to suffocate Or burry you under I never once said a...... Lie in your own bed The one that you've made there Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair That way you need never share You'll never be forced to care You can just sit there an stare At your own beautiful hair Because there's little else there When your world comes crashing down Don't ever think back And don't remeber me And all the things we could have seen Those days were long ago and things were different then And when your world comes crashing down Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain Expression lost and drained Your passions unfulfilled just an amply shell remains And when, when your world comes crashing down don't cry Don't look down You should dry Those once pretty eyes Cos you have lost the right The right to cry Hold me like you used to do again Hold me like you used to do my friend Again.......... I was only saying Perhaps I went too far I was only praying That you would invite me to your arms I was only saying Perhaps it's time for me to leave I was only praying That somehow you would look behind my eyes and you would see But you don't I'm haunted by the things that we left behind And try as I might I just can't get you out of my mind You read all the wrong signs Projection projection projection but they weren't right You'll find given the time That I was all of the things you were trying to find
Same. Actually his song "Lost" is the most played song in my life for about 10-15 years+ This man made so many tracks that I play on repeat before sleep for years X_X It's crazy. I like thinking while listening to hit music.
Quelle musique et quelle voix! Pour vous avoir vu en concert, je garde ces souvenirs du très bel artiste que vous êtes! D'une chanteuse à un chanteur/ instrumentiste.

Only Matt Elliott Song Can Break Your Heart
or Elliott Smith if you ask me. These Elliotts are heartbreaking ...
@@kimiajafarinezhad THESE DAMN ELLIOTS . Keep destroying our hearts, because it feels so awefully good .

I'm not crying, you're crying.
Now i'm crying
His songs are the spirit of winter
Listening to his music is like watching a movie
This is serious. True artist. Nice technique and feeling. Thanks for following your passion. Gracias!
Yep- and virtually unknown, although his Failing Songs has been gaining significant attention
não consigo encontrar um artista mais profundo que ele
saiii pae eu q sou fa aq no braisl saiii
This is really beautiful and genius. This song always moves me to tears!
Artisti come lui ce n’è pochi, teniamocelo stretto 🙌
Un grande.
You are the prisoner
And you are the guard
You are the one who constructed the bars
And despite this protection
You still end up scarred
Cos people are people
They are who they are
I was no better or worse than the fray
Who did conspire to take you and hide you away
But I never wanted you to suffocate
Or burry you under I never once said a......
Lie in your own bed
The one that you've made there
Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair
That way you need never share
You'll never be forced to care
You can just sit there an stare
At your own beautiful hair
Because there's little else there
When your world comes crashing down
Don't ever think back
And don't remeber me
And all the things we could have seen
Those days were long ago and things were different then
And when your world comes crashing down
Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain
Expression lost and drained
Your passions unfulfilled just an amply shell remains
And when, when your world comes
crashing down don't cry
Don't look down
You should dry
Those once pretty eyes
Cos you have lost the right
The right to cry
Hold me like you used to do again
Hold me like you used to do my friend
Again..........
I was only saying
Perhaps I went too far
I was only praying
That you would invite me to your arms
I was only saying
Perhaps it's time for me to leave
I was only praying
That somehow you would look behind
my eyes and you would see
But you don't
I'm haunted by the things that we left behind
And try as I might I just can't get you out of my mind
You read all the wrong signs
Projection projection projection but they weren't right
You'll find given the time
That I was all of the things you were trying to find
Allways breaks my heart. Saw him live in Roter Salon Volksbühne Berlin. Matt Elliott is absolutly uniqe.
Matt Eliott is an incredible musician, my biggest inspiration and hearing him play and sing always impress and motivates me.

That last line is haunting because it feels like denial.
