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
