lyrics

The early sunrise and my
Bitter morning coffee
Doesn't feel normal for me to
Be up to early
Even the dog is still sleeping
On the foot of our bed
He's waiting on you to
Take him on a walk instead

Been a while with just me and the dog
Even after trying to start again
It still doesn't feel like you're gone
If I had known goodnight meant goodbye
I wouldn't be drinking
Bitter morning coffee, asking why

I wish I'd been home a little more
So you could cry on me
I should've known all it took
Was to do things a bit differently
But now that you'll never talk to me again
It's time for me to get movin'
If only I could change what I said and did
Better believe I'm asking god for forgiveness

Been a while with just me and the dog
Even after trying to start again
It still doesn't feel like you're gone
If I had known goodnight meant goodbye
I wouldn't be drinking
Bitter morning coffee, asking why

Anxious Love
by Cassidy Dickens

One of the first songwriters I met in Nashville, Cassidy is one of the nicest people I know in Music City. Balancing intelligent writing with organic authenticity, Anxious Love has no dull moments. Benn Park

Facets of This Faded Memory
by Ben Reneer

I first met Ben at an open mic in 2016. His sound has captivated me since. Out of all of the material he's released, this LP holds the the most emotional weight. Benn Park

Pain and Passion
by Kirk Saffle

Like Ben, I've been hooked on Kirk's music since the first day I met him. His debut EP, Pain and Passion, captures his sound perfectly. Benn Park
