These are just a couple of verses from this extensive mass of a narrative song I wrote quite some time ago now. It has grown quite large as time has passed and thoughts have changed and people have moved on and such. And though it is just the predictable, perhaps discountable work of a boy learning what he is capable of feeling, I must say that it is indeed about a girl.
Phenix City- Two verses
Oh, how you wanted my everything
And oh, how I wished I could have given it all
When we realized what feeling was among us
Oh, how I wish I could forget the smile I saw
Because even now I cough up dead butterflies
The ones you caused in me long ago
And even now I'm haunted in dreams
By the side of you I never wanted to know
Because yes, I gave you all of the heart that I had
And yes it went with you when you moved away
I'm still waiting for it to find its way back
Still trying to get a grip in the day to day
Because yes I let you change me for the worse qualities I had
And yes you left all confidence dead where it lay
I still fight self hatred for all you brought me to believe I lack
Never did I believe I would so let myself be torn away
