Remember when you asked
if I would write another song?
Bet you didn't think I'd wait
til the minute you were gone

Sometimes hate the wisdom
in the lessons that we learn
I may not have a pretty voice
but I will still be heard

Should have listened closer
To the whispers in the wind
Welcomed to another place
and the healing now begins

I've heard that there are reasons
for the things that must occur
Waiting on the wheel to spin,
to win, 'cause it's my turn

But timing's almost everything
and Karma is a *****
I marvel at your ease with love-
you've but to flip that switch

I'll spark a light,  and fill my lungs,
to purge you from my head
The dust had barely settled
when you found another bed

So mask your true intentions
with an altruistic face,
But you ain't foolin' me by sayin'
"I'll give you some space"

The summer of our discontent
had such a hopeful start
Hope he makes you happy,  
then I hope he breaks your heart

If you ever feel that emptiness
from things you failed to keep,
Well baby,  that's on you,
'cause I ain't losing no more sleep

Remember when you asked if I would
write a song for you?
Careful what you wish,  for someday
it just may come true

Maybe on some far off day,
I'll find where I belong
But meantime, let me offer thanks
for helping me write this song

'Cause timing's almost everything
And karma is a *****
Careful what you ask, for someday
you may get your wish
