Rosewood

(album: I've Got A Song - 2022)

Maybe I'm just insecure and I should've know better
Than picking at a scab and blowing it up
And yeah sure I could've handled it better
But you never even looked me up
And now I'm not so sure that we can do better
Easy falling in, but not so much out
Nice and slow like an outgrown feather
Plenty of time before we hit the ground

I've been awake, been awake for a long time
And I don't understand, don't understand
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
And I don't understand, don't understand
Why I couldn't love you better

And now you're on the mend and there's nothing much to it
Keeping to the Rosewood, doing what you're supposed to
I'm happy to pretend that we've gotten through it
Saying "wasn't it good while it was good?"
Well, I'm just insecure and I should've known better
But I can't help thinking, maybe you've been thinking
We're not gonna do better, plenty of time to come around

I've been awake, been awake for a long time
And I don't understand, don't understand
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
And I don't understand, don't understand
Why I couldn't

Why I couldn't love you better
Why I couldn't
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
And I don't understand
Why I couldn't
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
And I don't understand
Why I couldn't
