lyrics

i wish i could tell the little girl i was
it will all, it will all be ok
no you're not alone and this will be over
you just got to get through the day

no i don't know how i am here singing
it surprises me all of the time
and no i don't hate you, sometimes i wish i did
but i am so tired of lying

oh no i won't betray the promise i made
to my mother that i'll be ok

i used to pretend that i would confront you
and you would admit your mistakes
but how do you forgive someone who's not sorry
and knows not the heart that they break

so i took to the blade and i took to the bottle
and i took to the worst guys around
and though i'm ashamed i'm all out of blame
and i know you love me somehow

oh no i won't betray the promise i made
no no no oh i am so sorry that i ever let you down
i was so broken i never thought that you would stick around
and though i wish i could tell her i think she knows
that even in darkness there's always
something that grows

oh no i won't betray
the promise i made to my mother
that i'll be ok

Valley Of Heart's Delight

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar

Age of Apathy

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
