Not Good Enough
Let's rewind, review the score
Decades late and a dollar short
When you signed up for nevermore
You'd be waiting so long
Apropos words - hard to find
Swimming 'round inside my mind
I still feel what I can't define
What was there all along
And now it's flowing
The page is glowing
And you're not here to hear
What I wrote for you
Why did it take so long to write this song
And play it first a thousand miles from you?
Forgive me, please forgive me
It was in me from the beginning
Music's easy, words will never do.
Not good enough for you.
Walden, Wordsworth, that's not me
How'd they bottle mystery?
You'd think with all of our history
I'd have had more to say.
TMI since I proposed.
Now, nervous, naked, left exposed
You should toss out what I've composed.
My string of cliches.
La-di-da-di
Will anybody
Be brave enough to bare
Your love song debut.
Why did it take so long to write this song
And sing it first a hundred miles from you?
Forgive me, please forgive me
It was in me from the beginning
What's on the page now some how rings untrue.
Not good enough for you.
If I missed the mark, please disregard
Sans melody - a Hallmark card
Perfect love now maimed and marred
Will just have to do.
I like pithy
You're more wordsmithy
Please edit this for me
Before I change my mind, become resigned and rip it into two.
Why did it take so long to write this song
When I've been living half my life right next to you?
Forgive me, please forgive me
It was in me from the beginning
Your gift's arrived and its 20 years past due.
Not good enough for you.
Decades late and a dollar short
When you signed up for nevermore
You'd be waiting so long
Apropos words - hard to find
Swimming 'round inside my mind
I still feel what I can't define
What was there all along
And now it's flowing
The page is glowing
And you're not here to hear
What I wrote for you
Why did it take so long to write this song
And play it first a thousand miles from you?
Forgive me, please forgive me
It was in me from the beginning
Music's easy, words will never do.
Not good enough for you.
