Pale Compromises

Commentary:
The second or maybe third song I ever wrote, written ages ago although these lyrics are rather different from the original. Perhaps the most personal of all of my songs to date.

Lyrics:

Gonna write myself a letter
pretend that it's for you
Lord I wish I knew things better
but all I know is you.
All I know is you.

You know I tried to love you baby
Tried to love me too
Thought that it could save me
Wasn't good enough for you
Never good enough for you.

They say mistakes just make you stronger
But I ain't found that to be true.
Cause my life keeps going on, girl
And I keep missing you
I keep missing you.

Louise I wish I was a kid again
So I could feel like I was new
Maybe then I would learn something
Cause all I know is you.
All I know is you.

Gonna write myself a letter
pretend that it's for you
Louise I wish I could do this better
but all I know is you.
All I know is you.
