There was a moment, a sweet sweet moment
when you gave to me
all the emotion, every bit of love
you could wrangle free
Forever was it reach it seemed
But I couldn't let that be:
I don't hurt no one no more.
Don't hurt no one no more.
There was a memory, a sweet sweet memory
of what could have been
Watchin velvet sunrise
cross the circles round your eyes
in our unmade bed
Believe me, all I told you was true
I just couldn't give myself to you:
I don't hurt no one no more.
Don't hurt no one no more.
Oh, sugar darlin, I can't keep fallin
my love only causes pain
So here we are baby, I don't know if I'll make it to my own bitter end
I got so much to uncover to learn to be your lover
let alone your friend
So please let me move on
I wish I didn't have to be gone:
I don't hurt no one no more
Don't hurt no one no more.

Matt is my stablemate at Fox Run Studios and a soulful, piano-rockin' man. The sound of his album is what made me choose our shared producer, Neale Eckstein. I love Matt's music! Mya Byrne
Another dear friend, I play in Jesse's NYC band, so I'm biased, but...gosh, I think he's the closest thing our generation has to Jackson Browne. Mya Byrne
