(no subject)
After getting home from the movies with Dave, I've been writing all night. It feels so good to get things out. Usually when I sit down to write, I end up in the same place: I am devastated. He hurt me. Wah.
But tonight, while there was still a bit of that, for the first time, I managed to create something that was more at peace. Something that acknowledged how great it was to have loved in the first place. I'm proud of that. It's a big breakthrough, I think as a songwriter and as a person.
Now, If this song had only been out about a year ago. Or less. Or better yet, if I had written it. I've been listening to it nonstop since I heard it:
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
