Me & Her

 I wanna go back

And change what I wrote

But it feels like sacrilege 

To change one note. 

There was a time

When I felt what I did;

Better to leave

The past to that kid.

Half of me knows

Half those songs could be better,

But she was trying to cope, 

And those songs let her.

Part of growing 

Is letting go;

It gets better,

But she didn't know.

If I reach out

When something's amiss,

It's because I know

She needed this.

I can't change the past,

And I'm past trying, 

But I'll be damned

If I leave you crying.

I'm not her anymore,

And thank God for that,

But I am who I am

Because of my past.

I wanna go back 

And change what I wrote,

But for her sake, 

I won't change one note.
