Don't Look At Me
Walked out the room, and I felt that I wasn’t doing so well,
Back at the apartment, out came the bottle of red
Put my heart into the bottle, smashed the bottle against the wall
Tried to tell you how I felt, but the words they wouldn’t come out right
I get a bit of news, out comes the phone, type you a message
Remember where we stand, hit delete and I get shocked all over again
Met you for a drink in the aftermath,
Thought we could be friends, coz I didn’t wanna let you go
But now I know
Now I know
So I slammed down hard on the emotional breaks
A carload of love hit me from behind
Tore through the windscreen and scattered all over the road
This is my ode
Look at me, can’t you see I’m not breathing
And my sanity it’s leaving
Deceiving, and tearing out my heart & soul
So look at me, can’t you see I stopped breathing.
Hit the deck and beg forgiveness
It’s still a mess, I’m black & blue inside
So look at me
Look at me, won’t you please
Look at me. Please don’t look at me.
I’ll stop breathing

It's really good. Beautiful, in fact.
