Not Everyone Knows What They Have

Playing with music and lyrics… it’s not there yet but I promised the process so here it is…the beginning of the making of a song…

Not everybody knows what they have

You said you were equal opportunity

Not your shiny new toy, it doesn’t matter whether I’m a girl or a boy.

Hedging your bets

Bet you didn’t bet on me

Selling my soul for the high

I was always used to

Just getting by

You wanted what you always wanted to be, and it was always me

And you didn’t bet on me

And I was always going to be

Bet you didn’t bet on me

Setting myself free

Fuck Family trees …

The roots run deep

But you couldn’t break free

You were never untamed

All you know how to do is blame

Jokes on you

I never was a fool

Because I’m platinum anyway

Didn’t you know

What you reap is what you sow

You always told a story we were the exception to the rules

Bet you didn’t bet on me

Investments were low

A dream with no where to go

Promises that would never grow

Bet you didn’t bet on me

becoming everything you wanted to be

All that glitters is not gold

You painted a lot of pictures,

They are hanging in the gallery

But none of them sold

A story untold

that was meant to unfold

You never put any skin in the game

you wanted a heart,

but never were bold

So the story remains untold

Not everybody knows what they have

All that glitters wasn’t gold so our story remains untold…

Let the cards fall where they may,

the time was long gone for me to fold

I lay my hand down to rest

For I was never second-best,

This is what happens when you fall for a fool

that never believed there were rules

Bet you didn’t bet on me

Jokes on you

Because it was always me

Now I’ll always be

The ghost in your bedroom

Not everybody knows what they have
