The Party Guest
(Words/Music B. Gallo)

It's okay now, I'm willing to finally claim defeat
I'll go home and put The Queen Is Dead infinitely on repeat
'Cause I saw you and your new man walking
hand in hand on the street
and that's just something that I wasn't ready to see

So when the party guests arrive tonight I'll be the first one there
With roses waiting in my hand and a certain sense of despair
When the party guests clear out tonight I'll be the last to go
and I will still be waiting on you wondering if you'll ever show

Everybody tries to remind me that I never belonged to you
So I always have to explain to them I was someone you once knew
You were interested in the things I did, but now I'm just old news
Just a late evening paper that's soaked in rain,
and never gonna get any use

So when the party guests arrive tonight I'll be the first one there
With the roses waiting in my hand and a certain sense of despair
When the party guests clear out tonight I'll be the last to go
and I will still be waiting on you wondering if you'll ever show

I put on my blue suede shoes,
'cause I was hoping to dance
You're not even here to step on them,
So I guess I'll refill my glass

When the party guests arrived tonight I was the first one here
Roses waiting in my hand, and a certain sense of despair
When the party guests cleared out tonight I was the last to go
I was hopelessly waiting on you wondering if you'd ever show
I was stupidly waiting on you knowing you'd never show

Bryan Gallo is a Long Island based singer-songwriter. His songs are inspired by late nights in bars, the backseats of cars, and the pressures and consequences of living life romantically. Intrigued by both the sounds of alternative country-rock and wistful pop music he began to pen songs that would be deeply personal but still readily accessible. ... more
