Nina Gordon - Bones And A Name Lyrics
rolling through the canyon blasting "heartbreaker"
i see your famous face right next to me
we smile at each other
cuz we know we know each other
but damn if i'm gonna talk to you again
i always thought that you were funny
i always thought we could be friends
but the way you treated her in the end
all the horses and all the men
couldn't bring her back again
and we tried so hard
but couldn't save her day
all the millions and the billions
of stars that shine into her eyes
so she covered herself in sorrow and shame
and smoke and mirrors and things
and fake love, angry love, bad love and sad love
and damn if i didn't almost do the same
and now sometimes i think i see her
i can almost hear her cry
i hear those chillin words
she chose to say goodbye
all the horses and all the men
couldn't bring her back again
and we tried so hard
but couldn't save her day
all the millions and the billions
of stars that shine into her eyes
were barely bright enough to light her way
he was predictable, cliche and cruel to you
he made it ugly and made it high school
he said i love you
i need you
i want you
i'll feed you
i get you
i got you
i'll catch you
and i'll keep you
my sweet and you will never be sad again
he said, "my sweet, you will never be sad again"
and all the horses and all the men
couldn't bring her back again
and we tried so hard
but couldn't save her day
all the millions and the billions
of stars that shine into her eyes
i swear sometimes i can almost hear her say:
we're just bones and a name
we all go out the way we came
so don't you try to tell me that love is all we need.

Nina Gordon Bones And A Name Comments
Just dawned on me and I may be reaching but is this about David Grohl and Louise?
That’s what I’ve always thought and I’m pretty sure it is. I can’t find it now, but I’m sure I read something years ago where she confirmed it.
I wonder if it's a semi-fictionalized version of the story of their relationship. To me it seems like Gordon used the Post-Grohl relationship as an inspiration for a story that ends differently, because I interpret some of the lyrics to mean that the woman in this song was so distraught about the way she was treated that she took her own life. Just my interpretation.
