something better than this

from the lilas (EP) by Lauren Hoffman

about

this is a song i wrote in 2002/2003 about depression. yay!
many of the songs that i played with the lilas wound up on my 2006 album, choreography, but this one is a lilas exclusive :)

lyrics

I spent a twisted night without sleep
Wondering
where did I go wrong
How did I lose you

I spend my listless life, I wait here
Wondering
Where did I go wrong
How did i lose you

There was a time when I believed in something better than this
There was a time when I still dreamed all I do now is wish
There was a time when I believed in something better than this
There was a time when I still dreamed all I do now is wish

I left the scream inside my mouth
Pushed it down
How did I go wrong
Where did I lose you

And god knows I know I could die here
Just lie here, just lie here, just lie here
How can I go on
Now that i've lost you

There was a time when I believed in something better than this
There was a time when I still dreamed all I do now is wish
There was a time when I believed in something better than this
There was a time when I still dreamed all I do now is wish

Dreams were made for waking and I'm making up my bed
Daylight is for waiting and there's seven hours left

There was a time when I believed in something better than this
There was a time when I still dreamed all I do now is wish
There was a time when I believed in something better than this
There was a time when I still dreamed all I do now is wish
I believed
I believed
I believed
I believed

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
