In the last week of February, Doug Hottmann posted on Facebook offering to give lyrics if people wanted to put music to them. Here's mine. :)
Oh, and I've been watching Nashville a lot lately. That was an influence here.
It seems help ain't on the way
So I'll cage the beast, run away
Let it haunt me a little forever
Let it taunt me a little forever
But not tie me down, the daily foray
It seems help ain't on the way.
CHORUS:
And I can't fix myself
But I can move on
Get used to life
To feeling all wrong
I can move on, I can move on.
You needed me yesterday, but now it's today.
You've forgotten that I--yeah, I, too, have changed.
I'm like a bulb barely weathering the weather
I don't know how, what, why, when, if, or ever,
But in spring, I'll emerge with the rain.
It seems help, she ain't on the way.
CHORUS

A country torch song! I love the vocal harmonies here a lot. Great lyric to work with as well.
