Unfinished

She was shaking when she turned to me and said
i feel like your singing about your past as though
it was right here and now
she begged and i assured her that songs would change with time
but the distance from my heart to my hand is longer than it needs to be
and i sat down to write you a song
but this is all that i had.
it seems to me that i took too long
cause here i am and you are gone
and i only got one line to a song
that i am proud to sing out loud
a love song. is that too much to ask? you put your hate and bitterness to a tune
why not throw a melody over how much you love me?
well, i was writing that song for you that you wanted more than anything
i was working up the perfect words
that would make you cry just hear me sing
this is all that i had, but this is all that i had
it seems to me that i took too long
cause here i am and you are gone
and i only got one line to a song
that i am proud to sing out loud
you are my favorite everything
that’s all i got.
everything
you are my favorite everything
that’s all i got…
