I am a lyrics girl. I wish I could write music lyrics. I can play music. I am blessed to have that gifts. But lyrics? Music is math. Lyrics are art. I can't.
But I can love them.
Tonight I was sitting here chewing over the hardness of today - the tears and the anxiety - and I remembered a song from probably one of my 5 most favorite albums of all time ("Fumbling Towards Ecstacy" - Sarah McLachlan - geez even the title is fucking fabulous). There are several songs on there that I could listen to for hours - but the one that summed up today is "Plenty":
I looked into your eyes
they told me plenty
I already knew
you never felt a thing
so soon forgotten all that you do
in more than words I
tried to tell you
the more I tried I failed
I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
and I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day
I used to think my life
was often empty
a lonely space to fill
you hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
you made my world stand still
and in that stillness
there was a freedom
I never felt before
I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
and I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day
