I FAILED NOW I’M FREE - Josh Radnor & Molly Tuttle
I spent most of last December in Nashville and co-wrote a bunch of songs with some great people. I was lucky enough to write TWO songs with one of my favorite songwriters Molly Tuttle. This is the first one we wrote. I’ll post the second one soon. JR
Look at me
Don’t look at me
It sometimes hurts to sing
Who am I
Who am I trying to be
Are those the same thing
This mask’s so tight I can’t breathe
I’m scared of what’s beneath
My voice cracked on the high note
My finger missed that string
I forgot the second verse
Cause I had too much to drink
Who said everything I touch
Should be a masterpiece
I failed
I failed
And now I’m free
When I moved
To this crowded city
Didn’t leave my room for weeks
I thought that I
Would be somehow safer
If I just didn’t speak
I made a prison of the stage
And so I hid out on the page
My voice cracked on the high note
My finger missed that string
I forgot the second verse
