Any Other Way

    (January 27, 2004)

    I picked up my guitar today
    And I had
    Nothing to say
    For the first time in my life
    I feel like I need a change
    From where you were
    To where are
    I’m sorry that
    I could not help out
    To make you smile
    Was all I wanted
    And now here we are
    Farther then we were before
    I will take my time
    The next time I
    Decide that I
    Want to try
    And I won’t look back
    And see you walk away
    Because I know
    That I can’t go back
    And I wouldn’t want it
    Any other way
    The day I cried
    When you said
    You did not have
    Anything left
    I never want
    To hear those words again
    So I won’t try
    To make it hard
    But at least I tried
    Though I didn’t get far
    I can always say
    I gave it all I could
    And I wouldn’t have it
    Any other way
    Maybe someday
    You will call
    I’ll say I’m sorry
    For letting you fall
    With someone who
    Could not meet you half the way
    The night could last forever
    We could chase the sun away
    No one can touch
    What we share today
    Could I be saved
    If you were here
    If only there were
    Angels in the air
    I would want it
    Any other way
