I won’t go into what inspired this lyric because it’s silly. But if you’re a regular reader of the journal, I can tell you the background because you’ll have known about it.
I said I was going to write lyrics before I write music for my next project, so I better start making good on that.
I’m ripping off Kelley Willis’ title, but the sentiment of my song is vastly different from hers.
What I Deserve
April 2006
Am I so far into your past
You’d look behind (and) never see me?
Have I become something you hate?
It’s better than being forgotten
I guess it’s what I deserve
I guess it’s what I deserve
It’s funny how you’re so distant
But never far from my mind, I
Wish I could do something different
It’s best I keep where I’m going
I guess it’s what I deserve
I guess that you have that right
I guess there’s no going back
I guess we can’t go ahead
I guess I did all I could
I guess it’s never enough
I know it’s what I deserve
I don’t think you have that right
I know there’s no going back
But we can still go ahead
I know I can’t do enough
But why can’t you do much more?
