Don't Love Me Back

from The Highway and The Moon by The Heavy Set

/

lyrics

When I met this girl it changed my whole world
Felt like love at first sight
She got me so high I was kissing the clouds
You know, I never felt something so right
The more time went on, the further I’d fall
I knew that she was the one
I swallowed my pride and said those three words
And my whole world came undone

Because
She don’t love me back
She don’t love me back
Was it my looks, my job, my sense of humor?
Something I lacked?
She wouldn’t say, All I know is that
She don’t love me back

My momma told me persistence is key
Soon enough she’d come around
But changing that girl’s mind once she’d made it up
Was bound to put me six feet in the ground
I could not concede, I just let my heart bleed
Follow her wherever she’d go
Soon enough I’d left a trail
From Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico

Still
She don’t love me back
She don’t love me back
Was it my looks, my job, my education?
Something I lacked?
She wouldn’t say, All I know is that
She don’t love me back

I said "Baby, please - I’m down on my knees
Felt like I’ve loved you since I was a kid”
I didn’t tell her to stop coming ‘round
But you know that’s just what she did
I knew I was beat, I accepted defeat
I really had no choice
Late at night when the wind is just right
I swear that I can still hear her voice

Sayin’ that
She don’t love me back
She don’t love me back
Was it my looks, my job, my education?
Something I lacked?
She wouldn’t say, All I know is that
She don’t love me back

Yeah
She don’t love me back
She don’t love me back
Was it my looks, my job, my sense of humor?
Something I lacked?
She wouldn’t say, All I know is that
She don’t love me back

about

The Heavy Set image

The Heavy Set Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Heavy Set is a Minneapolis rock band rooted in blues and alt-country, pushing Americana to its harder edges. The heart- felt songwriting of Jake Ilika gets a grindstone treatment in The Heavy Set with guitar-forward echoes of Crazy Horse and Ryan Adams. Their third record, “The Highway & The Moon”, drives their sound harder and into new expanses with a genre-bending collection of songs. ... more
