I’ve played the fool, I have no excuse.
Have to admit, there’s so much to lose, and even more left to give.
Sure, you smiled, but I could tell that it caused you pain.
Running wild, my child, that’s not gonna happen again. 

I realize in the scheme of things what happened did not chart. 
But I can still hear all the songs she sings, I hear her broken heart. 
Sure, you smiled, but I know I made it rain. 
You’re my sweet, sweet child, that’s not gonna happen again.

I know I let you down, I’m the one you should know to trust.
This time I’ll stick around - for us. 

INSTRUMENTAL

I am the one who’s supposed to be - sometimes I just forget. 
You never seemed to question me, never collected the debt. 
Sure, you smiled, you never did complain. 
All the sins I compiled, that’s not gonna happen again.

Sure, you smiled, but I could tell that it caused you pain.
Running wild, my child, that’s not gonna happen again.


That’s Not Gonna Happen Again

Retired the beginning of 2023. Been writing music seriously for about six years. Thanks for listening - and sharing!
