Song 3 of hopefully 14:

Alright With Me

http://fawm.org/songs/5178/#c25111

Sometimes my life lays out so neatly
A line from there to here
That's when I can see things completely
I know I couldn't be just anywhere

But I wish sometimes that I could go back
And clean up the mess I made
But it takes more than soap and water to make mem'ries fade
And I hope it's alright

I'll never know if you've forgiven
The words I said
Or the person that I used to be
But I've worked real hard
And I've looked inside
And I've tried to be alright
You might be alright with me

I know you thought that I'd be right
But I turned out to be wrong
Eventually you couldn't stand the sight
And soon after you were gone

It would be just like the me of me
That you'd expect me to complain
But if you heard me now I'd be trying to explain
And I hope it's alright

I'll never know if you've forgiven
The things I did
Or the person that I used to be
But I've worked real hard
And I've looked inside
And I've tried to be alright
You might be alright with me

Past time
Long time
Not in time
Same time
Leave time
No time to make it alright

I'll never know if you've forgiven
Or at least calmed down
When you think of how I used to be
'Cause I've worked real hard
And I've looked inside
And I've tried to be alright
You might be alright with me
