Paramount (Acoustic Demo)

Andrew Russe

This is it … FAWM’s all finished for me… time for a lie down now.

There’s still nearly a week to go, but I’m done, 14 songs written in 16 days…

I’m kinda drained. And I wanna do something else for a bit!

Paramount - A A J Russe

Now the pretty one has gone
And we’re still sitting here
Breathless and shocked
That she’ll never reappear
I can’t believe no-one cried
I still can’t believe how no-one cried

We seem busy with the last
As if nothing has gone wrong
We’re shaken by the past
But still reaching for the song
And I can’t believe how she tried
I still can’t believe how hard she tried

It’s not paramount
That we cry for her
She did her best
Got less than she deserved
It’s not paramount
That we atone
But what the last few hours have shown
It’s paramount we remember her

It’s the little things we find
That make us realise
Alone and scared
A violent surprise
And I can’t believe no-one cared
I still can’t believe that no-one cared

It’s not paramount
That we cry for her
She did her best
Got less than she deserved
It’s not paramount
That we atone
But what the last few hours have shown
It’s paramount we remember her
