I'm not used to doing this, but I'm finding I need people to edit my stuff lately. I'm more on the side of writing poetry, but lately I've been getting into writing more and more songs, as I've been playing guitar with a fellow co-worker. I decided to try to write something a little John Mayer-ish. More of a story, making sure I wasn't writing as myself.
A little setup is, the song is about a father who left his family and now he regrets not spending more time with his daughter. I've since taken the song and am now working on a concept album about the girl.
Anywhere here it is, any thoughts would be good.
By the time you get this letter
I wonder what you will look like
The life of a past i never should hide
Wished I'd seen you last time
Maybe things would've been different
I don't know how to explain it
The times I've wanted to stop and talk
But I just don't know how to find the words to say I'm sorry
The way you looked that day
Will stay with me for as long as I can remember
The tears I tried to fight, ran away anyway
Wished I'd seen you last time
Maybe things would've been different
I don't know how to explain it
The times I've wanted to stop and talk
But I just don't know how to find the words to say I love you
Dissapointment in me must be high
I wouldn't blame you if it was
You don't know me, nor I know you
The life you must lead now
Is probably much better than the one
That I would've given to you
The words I'm sorry can never be enough
I don't know what to say anymore
I hope you forgive me and remember me
As I remember you
Wished I'd seen you last time
Maybe things would've been different
I don't know how to explain it
The times I've wanted to stop and talk
But I just don't know how to find the words to say I love you
