Mr. Fix​-​It

from The Way Home by Candace Griffin

/

about

Written Sept. 2012. This was written in response mainly to other peoples' relationship and friendship woes, but with no small degree of empathy from myself. Sometimes you have to make yourself happy, and sometimes you have to be the one to move on.

lyrics

I'm sitting here with you at 1am
When I really should be getting some sleep.
There's too much awkwardness between us now.
Too many promises that you couldn't keep.

I've got my own life, you've got yours too.
At first I thought we'd work out as one.
But I've been watching all the things you do
And it's plain to see that you are done.

And I'm too young to waste precious time
With someone who doesn't wanna be mine...

You're a tool but I can't fix this.
And you're a fool to think you'll never miss this.
Maybe some day you'll change, but I can't wait for that day.
So watch me walk away.
I'm calling it off today.
Cuz I can't fix you.

And all my friends say that they were right
That you wouldn't last too long with me.
And I'm too tired now to put up a fight
So I say, let's just let things be.

Cuz I'm too young to waste precious time
With someone who doesn't wanna be mine...

You're a tool but I can't fix this.
And you're a fool to think you'll never miss this.
Maybe some day you'll change, but I can't wait for that day.
So watch me walk away.
I'm calling it off today.
Cuz I can't fix you.

Broken bonds and broken hearts are fine.
But I can't mend yours, I only have time for mine.

You're a tool but I can't fix this.
And you're a fool to think you'll never miss this.
Maybe some day you'll change, but I can't wait for that day.
So watch me walk away.
I'm calling it off today.
Cuz I can't fix you.

As a songwriter, she takes inspiration from the life around her, and with honest words and acoustic-driven emotions, she puts her listeners right in the moment. You'll think the songs were written just for you." (Bio by Caitlin Wildhagen) ... more
