Sudden Stop

from Painted Sky by Schweitzer

/

lyrics

She says yes, and I get excited
I'm like a kid, I can't hide it
then I get all worked up for not bein' alone

It goes good, it gets better
All of a sudden I get that letter
And I can't even get her to answer the phone

Pardon me for bendin' your ear
Let me make this perfectly clear

It's not the "up" that gets me worried
What goes up 'sgotta come down again
It's not the fallin' I'm afraid of
It's that... sudden stop at the end

She's got the goods, and you got the needs
She's the supply that demands you to please
She's like a treat and you know that you're gonna give in

She melts in the heat and you gotta lick it
Sticky and sweet like a drug, you can't kick it
And then you find out she was just using you to get him

Pardon me for bein' so straight
I admit, I took the bait but...

It's not the "up" that gets me worried
What goes up 'sgotta come down again
It's not the fallin' I'm afraid of
It's that... sudden stop at the end

I'm not bitter but don't get me started
I'm not to blame for the things that my heart did
Broken and beaten, neglected the way that it was
It's a game of roulette, as soon as you're in it
You can reach out and still reach your limit
And if they don't have an excuse then it's "just because"

She melts in the heat and you gotta lick it
Sticky and sweet like a drug, you can't kick it
And then you find out she was just using you to get him

Pardon me for bendin' your ear
Let me make this perfectly clear

It's not the "up" that gets me worried
What goes up 'sgotta come down again
It's not the fallin' I'm afraid of
It's that... sudden stop at the end

about

Schweitzer Los Angeles, California

My brother started writing songs and that was the spark that started me on my own songwriting course that would last the rest of my life. I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
