From FA, January 17, 2013:

Well, I'm not doing very much musically, lately. I have all kinds of things started, but having the time to do them is another thing. And then when I have the time, having the privacy tends to be the nixing factor.

Regardless, rather than work on something more in-depth, I did this simple little thing, just to play around a bit... and remind myself how horribly rusty I'm becoming with the guitar. >_<

Bark!

If I were a rich man,
with a million dollars more,
I wonder if that would've helped
to make you stay, before?
And if it did,
then what does that say about you?
Nevermind the other things you do.

I never really thought
that we would ever last that long.
So at least we got a little right,
before it all went wrong.
And if I'd bet
you wouldn't even say goodbye,
I'd have that, but still be poor inside.

Now your popularity
has made you a new man,
and given you more friends to know
than you really can.
So as you try
to juggle names you don't know,
I'll take that as my cue, it's time to go.

If I'd said a year ago
that by now you'd be gone,
you'd have just consoled me,
and told me I were wrong.
But if I had a dollar
for every time that I tried,
I'd have that, but still be poor inside.

When I sit and think back
on all of the things we've done,
I realize that all along
I've been the guilty one.
For if I'd learnt
to better measure all that I do,
I could not have grown so close to you.

As time marches on
I know I'm just another name,
and you have many other friends
who love you just the same.
And if you would
apologize and swallow your pride,
I'd have that, but still be poor inside.
