She Kept You

Once you’re through with me and mine
you can return to Houston where she used to write
you songs, she did you wrong and though she left you
you still belong to her, she kept you
now i can’t make you be inspired
take your love for me much higher
'cause there wasn’t that much room there to start
you were always my muse and I was always your good news
your charity but not your heart
let’s make a pact, a secret act
so we can meet after we’re dead
but if it really comes to that
i’ve got a feeling i’ll be left
where I settled from the time
that i was old enough to grasp
that i dont get what i want
and if i do it never lasts
cause when she wrote to you she said
i’m ready for you to come back
and though you know that if you left
my eyes would drain, my chest would crack
im not sure you could endure it
i’m not so I could secure this
