This is one of those songs I don’t feel like saying too much about. It’s shaded with some personal experience but I was also thinking (feeling?) about lots of other things including but not limited to face slaps, cancel culture, love and war.
And if I told you all
What kindness could you offer me
Who caused you pain, me
Who you have reason to blame?
I’ve fallen far from grace
Misspoken, made mistakes that you
Can not forget, you
Have never wanted to yet
Try as I might I cannot
Make it right without you
And your heart in the game
Cause it takes two to win
And right now we’re just two lost
We’ve both been hiding from
The truth we can’t face up to here
Where we’re so scared, here
Where life’s pathetically fair
I’m thinking if I go
You might just think it over then
When I’m gone, then
When you’re old and alone
Try as I might I cannot
Make it right without you
And your heart in the game
Cause it takes two to win
And right now we’re just two lost
What if we start again
Who says we can’t imagine more
Than what we had, more
Than in and out, good and bad
Try as I might I cannot
Make it right without you
And your heart in the game
Cause it takes two to win
And right now we’re just two lost
“…Life’s pathetically fair…” That line grabbed me – Powerful thought!
And you really seemed like you sang this one from a heart feeling real hurt (not just another weekly song).
You are a gift to your world, my child.
You are a gift to me my father 🙂 Thanks for your faithful encouragement 💕
