about

I wrote this song in February of 2010 while sitting at the the Black Cat Coffee House in Ashland, Wi. It was written using a guitar app on my iTouch and then reworked in the studio. It's a very difficult song to play, hence the title. :)

lyrics

A TRICKY TUNE
(N. Parent)

Know yourself. Know yourself better than anyone else.
Prove yourself. Lose yourself if only to trust in my love.
Truth in words. Some are false, leading away from your heart.
Open up. Now's your chance to let me right into your world.

And I'm not able to, able to reach on through.
What is it that I should do, so I can be close to you.

Fool your mind. Forget what when on, it will take some more time.
You're alone. Not used to nights spent with tears on your phone.
He didn't know how to treat you like you deserved to be treated.
I'm not gonna play it like those other guys. Oh, no!

And I would give much to be able to hear from you.
I could tell you a thousand times how I want to make you mine.

I know what it's like to be lonely, too.
The gentle nights play games and try to break you down,
but, you're too strong.
I'll sing for you. I'll write more songs.

Out of luck! Torn between loving and losing herself.
Tortured eyes, holding back sorrow that keeps her inside.
Put forth an effort so I can reach in through those broken feelings.
I can't stand waiting anymore.

But, if I can't win you heart, my feelings for you won't run.
We're trying to keep our love; and still we will search for more.
