Unhappy Again

from No More Chasing by Abi Moore

/

about

Unhappy Again has an early 90s alt-country-rock Sheryl Crow feel, with Abi dragging the tempo and changing time signatures to make you physically feel how lonely and disjointed being stuck in the wrong relationship can be.

lyrics

I was the wrong way up and I
Took the long way around
And I tried to settle down

I got a 9-5 and I
Bought a house with a man inside
And I tried to settle down

He says we should get away somewhere in the sun
That might put a smile upon my face

I run the bath so hot it burns my skin
And I don’t ever wanna be this unhappy again

Sometimes you’re just in
And you can’t get out
Cos you’re in too deep and too far down

It’s been too long
The chance to say goodbye has been and gone
And whatever the time, your timing’s always wrong

He asks what I want to do for Christmas time this year
I don’t know how to say that I won’t be here

And there are days I’d rather sink than swim
And I don’t ever wanna be this unhappy again

Oh, I don’t know if he knows
I don’t know if he knows

So if you see me about and I
Take the long way around
I’m just trying to settle down

Please don’t ask about the shape I’m in
Cos I don’t ever wanna be this unhappy again
And I just don’t fit in
In my own skin
I don’t ever wanna be this unhappy again

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
