Hard Rock break up song

Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Lyrics
We always talk around this Conveniently finding excuses Not to face the obvious But my dream's not your dream I know And given this chance, I have to go Give the dice a final throw. There's only one seat on that bus There isn't room for both of us Darling, sorry, this really is goodbye. These are words I thought I'd never have to say Believe me if there was any other way, But it really isn't possible to stay - I'm leaving without you. I still love you but I have to let you go, And I wish I didn't need to hurt you so, And I'll miss you more than you will ever know. Leaving without you Sometime things don't go how we intend Lovers diminish into friends One thing starts as another ends. So don't prolong the agony You know you're really not in love with me We're both just used to what used to be. Let's not spoil the memory By drifting into mediocrity A clean cut heals better than a ragged wound Don't turn around, don't look at me 'Cause I don't want you to see Treacherous tears disolving me. Like my heart my nerve will break Threatening to overtake Faltering with each step I take. Don't spoil the memory By fading into mediocrity A clean cut heals better than a ragged wound Words I thought I'd never have to say Believe me if there was any other way, But it really isn't possible ... I still love you but I have to let you go, And I wish I didn't need to hurt you so, And I'll miss you more than you will ever know. Leaving without you These are words I thought I'd never have to say Believe me if there was any other way, But it really isn't possible to stay - I'm leaving without you. I still love you but I have to let you go, And I wish I didn't need to hurt you so, And I'll miss you more than you will ever know. Leaving without you

A great big listening feast of a song, everything in its place and sounding like a million pounds, a perfect piece of pop-rock.

Your songs are just so my cup of tea. Brilliant playing, tight production and great lyrics. I'm also sure that they're all getting better with every new 'release'. This is as catchy, as only a catchy thing can be. Great guitar tone and playing . . . utterely FAB. This aught to be on national daytime(and night-time)radio.

Great use of dynamics - I liked when the song drops down to a slow build up to the main melody with beat. Well arranged Rocker - excellent vocals with harmonies and cool guitar rhythm and lead work. Awesome toon! ~ Bob
