Since I mentioned<\/a> “Untitled (ACO 1)<\/a>” has lyrics, I may as well post them here.
\nI’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.
\n“Our Best Wasn’t Enough”
\nJan. 29, 2005
\nMaybe I can change your mind
\nTell you things you want to hear
\nBut we’d know it’s just a lie
\nIn the end it’s what we fear to face
\nThis time the dream comes to an end
\nWe both believed this moment
\nWas a time we’d never reach
\nNow we’ve got both eyes open
\nWe’re awakened to the truth of what has been<\/i>
\nWe did our best
\nIt’s not enough
\nWho am I to disagree?
\nWould it change a thing at all?
\nShould I keep the door unlocked
\nIf you choose to throw away the key
\nTo what was once a place of hope?
\nAnd if you ever think back
\nTo the times we used to share
\nWould you remember wanting
\nNothing more than I could ever give to you
\nWe tried our best
\nIt’s not enough
\nAnd if I ever look back
\nTo the times I shared with you
\nI wouldn’t change a thing
\nEven all the points that brought us where we are
\nWe took a risk
\nIt’s all we had<\/i>
\nWe did our best
\nIt wasn’t enough
\nWe took a risk
\nIt’s all we had<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
