I wrote this for my high school girlfriend who married - then later divorced - a bit of a misogynist. It's sad because you really couldn't find a nicer sweetheart of a person.
Outrageous
And when I realized that I could stay no longer
And I knew that I must be on my way
Broken hearts when mended
Will grow stronger
… and I only hoped that I’d get there some day
Now I see who you are
And you are outrageous
When you meet someone
You greet their sunshine
They hide their darker shadows
In their shade
It hard to see around a brilliant smile
So hard to see the outline of their strange
But I learned who you are
And you are outrageous
I once thought that love could conquer most things
I even talked my own fears away
But there comes a moment when you feel
That if you’re going to feel again
You’ve got to change
Now I know who you are
And you are outrageous
It was a hell of a time (Oh Yes. It was)
Just a hell of a time (Oh Yes. It was)
It was a hell of a time (Oh Yes. It was)
So I changed everything
Yes I changed everything
I so changed everything
Not to walk in your shadow
No.
Now I don’t walk behind you any more
No I don’t walk behind you any more
No I don’t walk behind you any more
Oh I don’t walk behind you any more
