lyrics

Give me a sign, are you out of your mind
for giving me exactly what I need?
Don't throw me away, but don't ask me to stay.
I've my own insecurities to feed

Trying to find all my dreams and my goals couldn't be more wrong
still I've found that security makes all my doubts so strong
Your remedy is killing me, just let me be my own worst enemy

You can't console me with more fish in the sea
my heart is always leading me to shore
put on that play, if only today
Mr. Right can't make it to the show

Trying to find all my dreams and my goals couldn't be more wrong
still I've found that security makes all my doubts so strong
Your remedy is killing me, just let me be my own worst enemy

Give me a sign, are you out of your mind
for giving me exactly what I need?
Your memory has no gravity
My feelings were a wasted luxury

Giving up on my dreams and my goals couldn't be more wrong
Still I've found that security makes all my doubts so strong
I'm faliing at your logic every time
your praise and veneration are a crime
Your remedy is killing me, just let me be my own worst enemy

about

Adam A Nelson Chicago, Illinois

I've played other people's songs in piano bars and private events around the world for 15 years. By 2022, it was beyond time for me to record my own songs. Each of these 7 songs will be dropping monthly in 2023. I hope you enjoy them!
