Sarah Spencer performs her original song "What Doesn't Kill Me Better Run," a country track about standing up to a toxic partner. The Nashville singer-songwriter sells studio-quality downloads of her songs for $1 through Patreon, recorded with a professional guitarist and her engineer boyfriend.
Hey y'all, this is a brand new one, so I just finished it about 2 seconds ago, and I'm gonna break the cardinal rule of songwriting and perform it without even sleeping on it. But yeah, this one's called What Doesn't Kill Me Better Run.
Watching to the sides. I wish I would have seen the red flags waving, noticed the danger in your eyes. Maybe I thought that I could change you for me, make this a forever thing. But you were just another missed red warning. Now I'm shouting out, "If that doesn't kill me, better run!" He better never show his face around here. A long walk up a short pier. God, he knows what's good for him. What doesn't kill me better, uh. What doesn't kill me better, uh, uh, uh. I was wrong in thinking I could keep him. Love the challenge of a test. Put too much time into trying to shape him when I guess I should I guess. He had a record, had a reputation, running round all over the place. He didn't realize he met his match, yeah, that I love to chase. What doesn't kill me better run. You better never show his face around here. Take a long walk off a short pier. Die! And if he knows what's good for him, What doesn't kill me better run, run out of town. No one here wants you around. Run, run, oh it's on. Get your stuff, get the hell out. Run, run, that's your part. I'll give you a head start. Run, run, yeah, you're gonna wish you never broke my heart.
Thanks for listening. That was a song called "What Doesn't Kill Me Better Run." My name is Sarah Spencer, and I'm a singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. I write country music and kind of like Americana poppy folky stuff. If you like what you heard, I put new music out on my Patreon page at www.patreon.com/sarahspencer. If you like my material enough to become a patron, I give away dollar downloads of my studio versions of my songs. I will take it into the studio with a professional guitarist who plays a whole heck of a lot better than I do, my boyfriend who is an amazing engineer, and and put it all together, and by our powers combined, we have a really killer acoustic demo. So those are a dollar! Again, that's patreon.com/sarahspencer.
Bye!
Thanks for listening. Bye!
Oh, I wish I would have seen it coming, paid attention to the signs. I wish I would have seen the red flags.
