I'll Be Fine (2013)
Music and Lyrics by Matt Parris and Davy Stone

Our first joint songwriting effort. It's about being taken advantage of and then left high and dry. It's a creative, catchy "fuck you" to those who mistreat their friends.

lyrics

I used to think that you pushed me away to make sure I'd fight to get closer
I thought that this radio silence was just a phase you'd soon get over
I thought that all of this was a test to make sure I was worth your time
But for all of my persistence, I've gained no ground and lost my mind

I sleep fitfully, if you can even call it sleep
I wake up exhausted, and I'm dead on my feet
I wonder why I'm still here, because it seems I'm wasting my time
If you don't want me around, just say it; I'll be fine

I know that friendships come and sometimes they go away
But I thought that, maybe just this once, I got lucky and this one would stay
Now I can feel it fading out no matter how much I kick and scream
Is this a joke? I'm so broken 'cause you've stolen yourself from me

I sleep fitfully, if you can even call it sleep
I wake up exhausted, and I'm dead on my feet
I wonder why I'm still here, because it seems I'm wasting my time
If you don't want me around, just say it; I'll be fine.

I've got a smart mouth, but I'm dumb where it counts
I'm moving on with my life, no more waiting around
You're the reason these eyes are blue, but you'll never see me cry
I'm done wasting my time on you, but I'm not worried;
You'll be fine.....

Soldiers of Fortune Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Soldiers of Fortune was formed in 2012 by Davy Stone and Matt Parris. They are an acoustic duo who love making music together just for fun, and consider themselves lucky to be able to share it with friends, family, and all others who happen to stumble upon their music. Life gets in the way at times, but they can occasionally be seen in the wild laying down tasty jams at various Myrtle Beach bars. ... more
