lyrics

What am I supposed to do with these songs that I wrote about you?
You're a coward, a fool, and you're wrong
Guess you might as well give me a song
I guess if I keep them and let them live on,
It's only to my advantage

But then what if you hear them and your ego only gets bigger?
Well then that's the weight you'll have to bear
You not I who'll be worse for the wear
If all that you've won is some proof that I care,
I'm still left all the better

If you had a cent of the courage that it takes to let my heart bleed
You might have a sense of what's beneath what you so shallowly perceive
And if you expect your words to shield you from the mess you've made and let you keep the rest
I think you forget, you have to know yourself before you even try to undo me

So I rifle through the memories that I have of you
There was light and excitement for sure,
Electricity, even fire, but what's more
Is you are the one who has made it a chore
To coexist together

Maybe now all the names I can call you are true
But I guess that it's best to forgive
After all it's much better to live
Without hate and anger, I've got more to give
And you are too small to matter

If you had a cent of the courage that it takes to let my heart bleed
You might have a sense of what's beneath what you so shallowly perceive
And if you expect your words to shield you from the mess you've made and let you keep the rest
I think you forget, you have to know yourself before you even try to undo

Kate Koenig Brooklyn, New York

Kate Koenig is a very hungry experimental folk caterpillar that eats Fleet Foxes’ progressivism and Kate Bush's iconoclasticism and Jeff Buckley’s zeal and Nick Drake’s disenchantment, and is still eating while you read this bio. They are also a fierce advocate for mental health awareness, which comes out in the deeply personal, introspective theater of their music. ... more
