Andy Northrup Concrete Alibi lyrics

Well, you won't respond to missives
But you might respond to this
No face to face resistance
So I'll seal it with a kiss

And hope you understand it's scope
Or hope it helps you see
The future laughs at all of us
Especially you and me

And I chose to never burn you
And I chose to testify
And I chose to just return you
To your concrete alibi
And I hoped you'd see I'd never change
Or push this to an end
I thought I was a worthy soul
You'd call upon as friend
But now that's just too much to ask
It's too close to the bone
It's more than just my flaws
That have me sitting here alone

So I'll just eat this silence
Without a reason why
This judgment you're so quick to serve
Eventually will die


But now it's tinged with this regret
The cause I'm left to guess
Connection has a lofty price
It seems a hard request

But I chose to never burn you
And I chose to testify
And I chose to just return you
To your concrete alibi
And I hoped you'd see I'd never change
Or push this to an end
I thought I was a worthy soul
You'll call upon as friend
It must be just too much to ask
It's too close to the bone
It's more than just my flaws
That have me sitting here alone

I guess it's just the circumstance
But I feel so denied
This small defeat has winded me
I wanted us to try
