She Stole This Song

i have to take my fair share of the blame

loved this song
from the moment i heard it
and shouldn't be surprised
that she loved it too

hell
i played it for her
a hundred times if i played it once

i left it just sitting there
almost begging her to take it
so that years later
on a night like tonight
i could mix it
with bittersweet thoughts of her

i have to take my fair share of the blame

in the end
i got what i wanted
being her victim

it made for good
singer/songwriter material
from a less than objective perspective

and hell
i ain't gonna lie
she was pretty

i have to take my fair share of the blame

so when i tell you
she stole this song
it's really not true

truth is
i gave it to her
like a gift
but i wanted it take it back
and couldn't

you can't take back a song

but as i sit here tonight
i have no regrets
no resentments

this is me saying
i'm glad she got to keep it

this is me saying
i hope she still enjoys it
as much as i do
