I Don't Wanna Hear (Those Words From You)

I don't wanna hear those words from you
When they don't sound sincere

I don't have to peel back the years
When we're finally on our own

And in the night I hear you call my name
But I won't answer... I can't answer

There's nothing holding back this wall of pain
Except you.. except you.

(chorus)
So I'll stoke the fires of love
And dream of better days
But I don't wanna hear those words from you
I just can relive the pain
We tried to hold the candle
But baby we got burned
There's nothing left but sour dreams
Nightmares that never end

(bridge)
I don't want these memories
That haunt me day by day
Losing you won't bring me answers
But it helps with the pain

This lyric is one of the first "blues/jazz" inspired ones I have ever done. I have loved the blues but never really felt the "need" to try and write something overly bluesy. I would love to sit down with someone and finish this one off musically. I know there isn't much commericial appeal and by no means is the lyric "POP" enough for radio, but I think it has enough soul to stand up and be turned into something special.
