First Thing
This is the first thing I've ever written for you
Not about you
Not based on you
But for
And you'll never read it
Probably for the best
You don't need it
You've chosen progress
While I've chosen
Nothing
Fitting
Afraid of my own tendencies
But this isn't about me it's about you
Or for you
Though you'll never read this
So maybe it has always been about you
I was nothing before you
And nothing since
Four years have flown by
Therefore you have a new life
And it doesn't make sense
That we went through the same thing
But it feels as though two things
Two things are true
What we had happened to me
But it happened for you
A victim and a survivor
The story writes itself if you're a half decent writer
But I'm not
This is the first thing that I've ever written
So
Forgive me if I stumble in my words
These days it's the only time I fall
Just a mad man staying mad
Wondering if we even happened
At all
Not about you
Not based on you
But for
And you'll never read it
Probably for the best
You don't need it
You've chosen progress
While I've chosen
Nothing
Fitting
Afraid of my own tendencies
But this isn't about me it's about you
Or for you
Though you'll never read this
So maybe it has always been about you
I was nothing before you
And nothing since
Four years have flown by
Therefore you have a new life
And it doesn't make sense
That we went through the same thing
But it feels as though two things
Two things are true
What we had happened to me
But it happened for you
A victim and a survivor
The story writes itself if you're a half decent writer
But I'm not
This is the first thing that I've ever written
So
Forgive me if I stumble in my words
These days it's the only time I fall
Just a mad man staying mad
Wondering if we even happened
At all
