This track was the first song recorded for this demo but was the third written. After writing it, I was filled with an urgency to record it, and since it was right at the time I was beginning my demo, Self-Respect became the first track on this CD.

lyrics

Say my name just a little too loud
Because you wanna scream it out
You can't seem to get my attention
Pretty face, perfect waste
All that wonder, such a waste
You're a let down by all means
But I can't shake the feeling

I need you, close to me
You always pretend like you don't care
But from your eyes I know you're there
It's sad but true, that I miss you
You're always just too far away f
For me to reach and it kills me

Tried and true I begged for you
Down on my knees one day
But now even I won't bow
To the mightiest of queens
Self respect can go a long way
In the right hands
I just wanted you here
In my hands

Heave a sigh, you don't know why
But you can't get me out of your mind
You feel it build as you get the urge to kiss me, push it away
Cause you're a taken woman, now you're feeling guilty
Old love just isn't what it used to be
As old fights drag on, you feel the rush,
As you fall into new love

I need you, close to me
You always pretend like you don't care
But from your eyes I know you're there
It's sad but true, that I miss you
You're always just too far away f
For me to reach and it kills me

Tried and true I begged for you
Down on my knees one day
But now even I won't bow
To the mightiest of queens
Self respect can go a long way
In the right hands
I just wanted you here
In my hands

Let go of all your problems,
You are here in my arms, close to me
I can't breathe, sleep safely if only in a daydream
Hopefully, I beg and I plead
You'll think of, you'll think about me
And the choice you made, you'll finally see
As your wrapped in his arms tonight

Tonight, yeah

about

Professional Tailors

Professional Tailors is the conceptualization of a dream that I, Hunter Heidenreich, had to make music. The name comes from a combination of the desire to be a professional musician, despite the likelihood of that happening, and a play on words of the name of a girl that his first song was written about (Taylor). It is Indie, Acoustic, Rock, Post Rock, and anything that I feel at that moment. ... more
