You were the first unbiased heart I had to fear

It is a rarity that I post twice in a week, never mind a day. I was just talking to Josie and she had dug up a bunch of songs that we had written back in the day which inspired me to do the same and I was surprised at some of the things I found. Apparently I wasn't half bad at writing lyrics, at least in my own eyes. I found this one from 3 years ago.

I had been trying to hide out inside me
So sick of this world
And the people I used to trust

You were just a piece of the scenery
Another dull smile with a laugh that came easily
You meant nothing to me

I had heard about you and your escapades
And I had no intention
Of getting involved with them

Pens and papers, a few hours later
And I was smiling
What did you do?

It wasn’t right, we all know it never is
But I was so lost
in a sea full of hypocrites

You were the first unbiased heart I had to fear
You wanted none of it
And I just wanted to be near

We would talk late for hours
Wait until the sun came up
You had so little to say and a lot to hide

I vaguely remembering writing this and the person it was about. It brings back a lot and makes you wonder how different life could have been. It also makes me wonder if I can still write half that good. I know it's no shining example of ingenuity, but I like it. I think I will keep scouring these old words, maybe I'll find some inspiration

and those nights that you said those things
when you were sure I wouldn't remember it
I'm sorry I lied, but I do and I still think of you
