about

When I got dumped by the not-totally-divorced guy I was madly in love with a couple years ago, I was a complete mess for about two weeks. I was mad, I was sad, and on top of that I was mad at myself for being such a blubbering sad sack over the guy! So, I wrote this song.
Dark humor and music are what get me through everything.

lyrics

If you don't love me anymore
I hope they burn down the taco stand where we first met
If you don't love me anymore
Can I get a lobotomy so I can forget
Your face lying sideways
The day when you said "I love you" too soon
Damn
I can't
Get you
Out of my head

If you don't love me anymore
Would that change if I send you ten million texts?
If you don't love me anymore
I'm sure people survive on just
gin and cigarettes
Your skin on my skin and how
we came together the last time we ----
I can't
Get you
Out of my Head

If I didn't love you anymore
I'd kiss the next guy who offered to carry my amp
If I didn't love you anymore
I'd eat three full meals a day
And sleep like a champ
I know we weren't perfect, I know all the odds stacked against us
Do you think there's a chance for us
I still believe true love wins in the ---
I can't
Get you
Out of my head

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
