But I didn't, and That's Just Me
I could have thought of better words to say
Better clothes to wear
Better foods to eat
Better times to sleep
But I didn’t, and that’s just me
I could have given you better advice
Given you better gifts
Given you better apologies
Given you better lies
But I didn’t, and that’s just me
I could have told you not to wear that outfit
Told you not to take that path
Told you not to date that loser
Told you not to choose that answer
But I didn’t, and that’s just me
I could have chosen to be the same
Chosen to follow along
Chosen to sip Budweiser
Chosen to smoke that dope
But I didn’t, and that’s just me
