Fun rhythms and close harmonies add spice to this pretty rock-ish song. Words/Music/Singing/Playing/Arranging/Hopscotch/Recording: Tom O'Brien

It's all about an all-consuming relationship of many years ago. Man, I'm glad I made it out alive!

I hope you never hear this song I've got to sing it just the same And even though I got the whole thing wrong I am not the only one to blame And in the end there was no easy answer Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer Hit me like a storm that came on strong So that I'd never be the same It isn't on the sea that I belong Isn't in the wind and pouring rain And in the end there was no easy answer Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer You had your craziness it's true But I always thought that it was me I see in retrospect that you Were chasing after things you could not see And in the end there was no easy answer Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer If there were any shackles to remove It's evident I didn't have the key And all my testimony couldn't prove The prisoner was due for a reprieve We, together, let go of the wheel And let the car go where it would Forgoing sight, we tried to drive by feel Realized that sense was not so good And never was our destination real And anyway, we never understood Our destiny to die in fire and steel And tear apart exactly as we should And in the end there was no easy answer Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer x
