Since I mentioned “Untitled (ACO 1)” has lyrics, I may as well post them here.
I’ve never been through a break-up of a long-term relationship, but it seems I know quite a number of people who have recently. I didn’t really know what this song would be about, but I found some old lyrics that I never set to music. The first line of that other song fit this one, so I took it from there.
“Our Best Wasn’t Enough”
Jan. 29, 2005
Maybe I can change your mind
Tell you things you want to hear
But we’d know it’s just a lie
In the end it’s what we fear to face
This time the dream comes to an end
We both believed this moment
Was a time we’d never reach
Now we’ve got both eyes open
We’re awakened to the truth of what has been
We did our best
It’s not enough
Who am I to disagree?
Would it change a thing at all?
Should I keep the door unlocked
If you choose to throw away the key
To what was once a place of hope?
And if you ever think back
To the times we used to share
Would you remember wanting
Nothing more than I could ever give to you
We tried our best
It’s not enough
And if I ever look back
To the times I shared with you
I wouldn’t change a thing
Even all the points that brought us where we are
We took a risk
It’s all we had
We did our best
It wasn’t enough
We took a risk
It’s all we had
