I wrote this song after a break up that happened more than a year ago. I never claimed to be good at writing lyrics, but it felt right at the time. Now I look back on it and am very embarrassed, but since almost no one reads this, I don't mind.
(to the music of Comfortable by John Mayer)
V1:
I worked on the night shift
And she lived down south.
Less than month later
I loved her without a doubt.
She gave...
Goosebumps.
V2:
She didn’t want love
At least not for a while.
I did what I could
To bring out that gorgeous smile.
She moved here
And we became We
Bridge:
I don’t know just how
We got where we are now
I could do so much better
Looking backwards.
Chorus:
I told her...
She’s the one but
Was it too late?
V3:
A shell of myself
As I go through the day
No sleep and no appetite
Pain won’t go away
I wonder...
What if?
V4:
She wants her distance
To find strength on her own
Get back to the old her
The one her friends used to know
I know that...
She needs it.
Bridge:
I don’t know just how
We got where we are now
I could do so much better
Looking backwards.
Chorus:
I told her...
She’s the one, but
Was it too late?
Why did I
Wait so long?
What's left to say?
V5:
All I can do now
Is just sit here and pray
I’ll get the chance
To do things the proper way
She’s strong now...
So happy...
Moving on...
Too late now?
Chorus:
I told her...
She’s the one, but
Was it too late?
Why did I
Wait so long?
What’s left to say?
I love you...
