about

A country song about cheating and the pointlessness of explaining.

lyrics

If you’re coming to say you’re leaving,
don’t say anymore.
‘Cause lately I’ve had this feeling
you were headed for the door.
Your bags are packed and ready.
No need for you to stay.
If you’re coming to say you’re leaving,
there’s nothing left to say.

I know what they’ll be saying.
They’ll say that you’re no good.
They’ll say I’ll find another.
Perhaps what they say is true,
but when you’ve loved and when you’ve lost
it’s hard to feel that way.
Though they’ll fill my head with talkin’
there’s nothing left to say.

If you’re coming to say you’re sorry,
don’t say anymore.
You’ll only cause me worry,
and your sorry is just a word.
I know you’ve found a new love,
so don’t pretend that way.
If you’re coming to say you’re sorry,
there’s nothing left to say.

about

Jeni Hankins London, UK

Jeni Hankins grew up in the coalfields of Appalachian in Southwest Virginia among a family of miners, moonshiners, and journalists. Her writing pulls the grit, gumption, and keen sense of observation out of that heritage like drawing water from her grandmother’s well.

In every song, Jeni’s “true sense of place shines through – old as the hills, but brand new at the same time.”
