i'll be obscene (song lyrics)

One of the first songs I ever wrote.

 I've been wondering what could

What could I have done tonight

To keep her feelings alive

And see that glimmer in her eyes

 

But there's no use fighting it

-------It won't be soft, it won't be clean

-------I will be lost, I'll be obscene

-------But this is all I'll ever be

-------A place in time, her memory

 

I'll look at you, straight to the face

Choking tears, hide my disgrace

I won't say a word tonight

I won't even say goodbye

I'll just look you in the eye

Separate lives, we'll be just fine

 

But there's no denying it

-------It won't be soft, it won't be clean

-------I will be lost, I'll be obscene

-------But this is all I'll ever be

-------A place in time, faint memory

 

I'm not sorry for the pain,

And I'll never be ashamed

Of the years we spent together

Even when you had to sever

(what we had)

And I'll remember us this way

Man I hope that you remember

(us)

 

-------It won't be soft, it won't be clean

-------I will be lost, I'll be obscene

-------But this is all I'll ever be

-------A place in time, faint memory
