You have been reckless with my heart, but I am the one to pay.

In August I wrote a song called "Reckless," and have performed it live only once. I decided to release the video of the performance because I haven't played it since then, and because it was filmed by Jeb Milne, the late owner of WitzEnd (the venue you see in the video) who booked me there and also booked me for my first-ever residency, which will begin in January.  He passed away shortly after he gave me that residency, and I am so thankful to him for giving me the opportunity after booking me only once in his venue.  In the short time I knew him, he believed in me and my music, and showed so much support and positivity.  I only met him once, but I knew there were few like him.  This video is dedicated to him.

"Reckless" (Written and performed by Alfa Garcia. © Copyright 2013. All rights reserved.)
you don't even know me
you're not even sorry
for making me fall down
the long winding stairs
i got all my problems
you don't seem to have one
but that doesn't mean that you should think of ways to collapse walls around you in your haste
now all I do is dream of you all day

CHORUS
I'll be the first to say
it shouldn't go down this way
you have been reckless with my heart
but i am the one to pay
you'll move on quietly
like it was so easy
meanwhile I'll be waiting... foolishly
believing ... you're the one for me.

well what do we do now?
you're perfectly happy
but honestly me, I've been losing my sleep
i think of your brown eyes
that cleverly disguise
a man who's too familiar with goodbyes (d)

CHORUS
I'll be the first to say
it shouldn't go down this way
you have been reckless with my heart
but i am the one to pay
you'll move on quietly
like it was so easy
meanwhile I'll be waiting... foolishly
believing ... you're the one for me. (A)

BRIDGE:
call it a casualty of war
like love is a battle you fight
i surrender all that you want
I wave my white flag high.

CHORUS:
I'll be the first to say
it shouldn't go down this way
you have been reckless with my heart
but i am the one to pay
...
I'll be the first to say
it shouldn't go down this way
you have been reckless with my heart
but i am the one to pay
you'll move on quietly
like it was so easy (higher)
meanwhile I'll be waiting... foolishly
believing ... you're the one for me.
believing ... you're the one for me.
believing you're the one for me.
