Song For Me
Music & Lyrics by Ryan Hommel

I’m so damn tired of writing songs for you
I just had to write a song for me
I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong or blind
But allow me to explain my selfish side

I’ve been thinking
I’ve been drinking
About all those wasted I love you’s
Thought that I was paying dues
Love is not a bought thing
It’s not a “write a stupid song and make it better” thing

I’m so damn tired of writing songs for you
I just had to write a song for me
I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong or blind
But allow me to explain my selfish side

You can’t stop me
You can’t save
From Januaries in Belize
Chasing all the girls I please
Surely you’ve got better things
Like kissing the boy who works the spa in Saratoga Springs

I’m so damn tired of writing songs for you
So why’d it take me so damn long to see

Those songs for you really weren’t yours
Just a quiet way to cope when you were slamming all of my open doors

I’m so damn tired of writing songs for you
I just had to write a song for me
I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong or blind
But allow me to explain my selfish side
