Said Sadly

Band's Comments Lyrics
James Iha: "A fun song to write and record. It's sort of my version of a country duet song. I recorded this the day after we finished the music for the album, and had a friend of mine, Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt), sing with me because she's got great tone and character in her voice. The guitar fills and slide guitar are in the style of Derek & the Dominos, Clarence White, the Byrds and the Allman Brothers. We did one track of guitar fills with a Les Paul through an MXR phaser with a clean sound, as well as another track of Les Paul slide guitar which gives the song kind of a romantic sound, most of which was done in one or two takes."

Written by James Iha

You should know that I love you
We should love like lovers do
And I can't help but fall for you
Oh honey I'm just a fool
Now you know

Darling, I'll never be true
You see, for so long I was blue
I'm not the lonely one
And if I hurt, then you will, too
Oh honey I always lose
Now you know

Lover, when will you?
I'm so afraid that noone cares
Lover, can't find you
I swear to God don't leave me here
Now you know

Only you know that it can't be
When noone else here really means
Anything to me
If you hurt inside
If you confide in me again

Since you ran away
Hold me now, tell me how
Nothing's lost

Lover, when will you?
I'm so afraid that noone cares
Lover, can't find you
And noone knows what brings us here
Lover
Hold me now
Hold me now
Tell me how
Nothings lost
