Good Measure

You turn to me
And I can see that you’re worried
Have you done all you could?
Am I happy? I’m happy
Have you let me down?
No
If you had the chance
To turn it back, would you take it?
If you could, if you should
Would you change it? Don’t break it
Would I let you down?
No
Though we’ve changed
We’ve gone without
So many things that we always thought we’d have
I hope that you know it doesn’t mean
You haven’t made me feel like I’m your queen
So we’ve changed
We’ve gone without
So many things that we always thought we’d have
It’s not empty if it isn’t full
And if we had it all, what would we hope for?
The crowded hours
The brimming house
Can seem empty
The burden on
Our shoulders can
Feel unending, impending
Will it break us down?
No
Though we’ve changed
We’ve gone without
So many things that we always thought we’d have
I hope that you know it doesn’t mean
You haven’t made me feel like I’m your queen
So we’ve changed
We’ve gone without
So many things that we always thought we’d have
It’s not empty if it isn’t full
And if we had it all, what would we hope for?
