I Go To Pieces

from Malfunctions by The Tomorrow File

/

about

A very old song. The original recording was made on a Fostex 250 4-track cassette recorder. Ah, youth.

lyrics

Don't talk to me about your rights
You're gonna do what you want to do anyway
You came to me in the night
All I was to you was just a warm place to stay

So young and staring at the ceiling
It leaves imagination reeling
If there's an answer it's not here
I go to pieces when you're near

Do you know the meaning of love?
Can you ever give back what is given you?
Do you know the meaning of faith?
One man to turn to when the day is through

Do you want someone to hold on
To one so vicious and confused as you?
Oh Kelly, I was the man
The one who died trying to understand you

So young and staring at the ceiling
It leaves imagination reeling
If there's an answer it's not here
I go to pieces when you're near
