Bring You Down

from From The Blue House by Lauren Hoffman

/

lyrics

From the outside nothing looks out of place
I've got a superhero costume and a happy face
And if you ask you know what I'll say
Everything is fine, it's great, I'm ok

I'll throw a party for my fair-weather friends
Just don't look now there's a big black cloud overhead
And if you ask you know what I'll say
Everything is fine, it's great, I'm ok

I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around at all
No I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around

I'll be taking comfort in strangers
'Cause the little lies we tell aren't really dangerous
You say how ya doin' and I'm on trial
'Cause I've been caught red-handed in a stolen smile

And I could be rude
I could be vague
I could be quiet
Or look you right in the face
As I lie, and I say
Everything is fine, it's great, I'm ok

I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around at all
No I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around
I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around at all
No I don't want to bring you down
It's better you don't come around

about

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California

music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more
