charlie (demo)

I wanna make my momma proud of me
Even though I know that she won't see it
I want to be the change, find something beautiful and new
I didn't know that I'd feel that way until I met you

Cause you never called her Charlie
You never even tried
You always said it wrong
And she never asked why
Thought it was different
Name a piece after art
Charlie knew she was special
And that set her apart

I remember playing the ivory keys
So young with an old soul in the windy city
I don't remember the sunshine or the snow
Blues in my veins stay with me now so I know

You never called her Charlie
You never even tried
You always said it wrong
And she never asked why
Always so damn complacent
And okay with the past
Charlie never thought much
About why things didn't last

And why should this idea of perfection
Try and tell me how I feel
I'm looking deep within myself now
I always knew that Charlie wasn't real

You never called her Charlie
You never even tried
You always said it wrong
And she never asked why
Find the blues in the blossom
As the sun spins around
Charlie used to be no one
Right until she was found
