She was shaking when she turned to me and said
I feel like your singing about your past as though
It was right here and now
She begged and I assured her that songs would change with time
But the distance from my heart to my hand is longer than it needs to be
And I sat down to write you a song
But this is all that I had.
It seems to me that I took too long
Cause here I am and you are gone
And I only got one line to a song
That I am proud to sing out loud
A love song. Is that too much to ask? You put your hate and bitterness to a tune
Why not throw a melody over how much you love me?
Well, I was writing that song for you that you wanted more than anything
I was working up the perfect words
That would make you cry just hear me sing
This is all that I had, but this is all that I had
It seems to me that I took too long
Cause here I am and you are gone
And I only got one line to a song
That I am proud to sing out loud
You are my favorite everything
That's all I got.
Everything
You are my favorite everything
That's all I got...
