A Big Mistake

about

Written 2017, Louisiana

lyrics

I made a big mistake when I said, I do
I was in a legal state where all I stood to lose
Was more than I could take, which made it hard to choose
And I cannot say just what it put me through

So angry; so angry
I've never been so mad
So angry; so angry
I've never felt so had

So when you walk my way
I can't say how good it all seems
When you call my name
All the past is like a bad dream

I could have held a gun up against my head
I could've blown my brains all across our bed
And I know she'd still complain even with me dead
But then a weight would hang upon my kids instead

So crazy; so crazy, I'd hear the neighbors say
So shameless; so shameless to actually live that way

So I find it strange
To have you try so hard to please me
Yes, it's quite a change
To have it all going so easy

Such conflict; such conflict and neither one would bend
Such madness; such madness and it would never end

So I find it strange
To have you try so hard to please me
Yes, it's quite a change
To have it all going so easy

Now what I did learn is no moral tale
But was more in legal terms on which I will not dwell
All my softness burned; all illusion shelled
Yes, what I did learn was no fairy tale

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
