Songwriting exercise, SSG Y10W39. Write about a situation where one person is definitely concerned or preoccupied with another's welfare even though it may seem to that second person that the first person doesn't care.
It's about having someone who really helped me along early in my life and me not appreciating it until much later.
Lyrics
I never wanted to take your advice
And for that I apologize.
The things you made me do
Weren't all about you.
I know that now.
You wanted me to be somebody.
I thought that wasn't me.
I was comfortable on the sidelines,
Out of the spotlight,
But you made me shine.
You said work hard and have goals.
I didn't have self control.
You made me think about where I'd be
It wasn't destiny.
It was a winding path.
Now you're gone and I never thanked you.
I just got the news.
You made me what I am today
And I moved away
Now I thank you and apologize.
