I gave it a good try. Not sure I want this to be the last song I ever write...
lyrics
As a little girl I believed your every word
And I trusted you to guide me through the world
As we zigzagged down that highball road I asked you what the yellow light meant
You said it meant you’d better go fast, the red light’s coming
My shoulders caved from always carrying the burden
Though you were the adult way back then
I had to tiptoe through your flash flood moods
And wished that I could choose a different life-any other life
Even though you never really got to know me
And you don’t know my heart’s been shattered
At the end of the day
I love you anyway
And that’s all that matters
So I shut you out and I kept silent all those years
Telling you my feelings was a waste of my breath
But I still wanted your attention
Much more than I could ever mention
It seems we both failed that test
You said you always thought that I had it all together
So you never worried about me
Maybe you should
Cause I spent too many nights right on the edge of the abyss
Thinking no one cared
Thank God I never dared
The part of me that comes from you scares me sometimes
And I go from swells of pride to bitter tears of shame
Don’t get me wrong- I know where I belong
And the best part will remain
Even though you never really got to know me
And you don’t know my heart’s been shattered
At the end of the day
I love you anyway
And that’s all that matters
That’s all that matters
That’s all that matters
