lyrics

Can’t Carry a Tune
Music/lyrics: Brieana Capone

Don’t fall for a musician
They’ve all got tunnel vision
Couldn’t see good love if it hit ‘em Like a freight train
Obsessed with pretty pictures Bodies, built like fixtures
Wishes dark and brittle
“I hope it rains today”

It would be easier if you don’t feel a thing
Remember that your words and worlds away
It would be easier to find a man who doesn’t like to sing
A man who can’t carry a tune

Don’t let his passion fool you
The way he made the moon glow
The wine he brought was sweet
Though quite cheap
The future he’s been painting
See yourself framed in
He’s just drafting lately
You could be erased

It would be easier if you don’t feel a thing
Remember that your words and worlds away
It would be easier to find a man who doesn’t like to sing
A man who can’t carry a tune

You’re better than this arrangement
You can only keep a beat so long
With all these measures changing
Time to write a different song

It would be easier if you don’t feel a thing
Remember that your words and worlds away
It would be easier to find a man who doesn’t like to sing

A man who can’t carry a tune
A man who owns his own suit
A man who’s home before two
A man who can’t carry a tune
