The Lyrics

It's always fun to chat with an artist friend and see what they've been working on...not as much when they suddenly drop all contact.
You used to show me, now you don't
You used to tantalise me, now it's all empty
You, you, you, you

You had your works-in-progress, not yet pushed out the door
I was the one you came to for critiques and tips on lore
Kept livin' for the moment you sent a pic or four
Loved ev'ry damn discussion, two nerds goin' back and forth
But all that, in-person or online space
It's been quite a while since it's gone and taken place
Not two weeks, that might mean a diff'rent pace
A couple years by now, now, now

You used to show me, now you don't
You used to tantalise me, now it's all empty
Not like it slowed down to a crawl
One day you were showin' slides then the next day, goodbye, oh-oh-oh
You used to show me, now you don't
You used to tantalise me, I was so ready
To see what made it through at all
Really loved that diff'rent kind of watch-a-thing surprise, oh-oh-oh

I don't get why you'd do this, I wish you'd tell me why
Or at least drop a clue in case your hands are kinda tied
Can think of sev'ral reasons the teases have turned dry
Most of them aren't all really that bad
You could have signed one of those NDAs
All those tips of mine can't be used legally, pain
It could be that you've turned into a stain
Don't want that last one now, now, now

You used to show me, now you don't
You used to tantalise me, now it's all empty (blows)
An explanation, that is all (that's all)
That I've been after, a "Why" you stopped droppin' those lines, oh-oh-oh, yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la (la-la), la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, you used to show me, now you don't

I'd be pretty worried if this happened to me, though that's mainly because it'd be a sudden contact drop from my brother. That's rarely a good thing.
