To Me from Dedication by Mirah

When a thought like a truck came crashing down the gate
I held my hands up and I said wait

And I turned my head and caught the full light
Of the headlights, moonbeams, high beams bright

Am I stopped or can I run, can I stand, can I fight
Am I lost, have I won, will I sleep well tonight

And I reach down deep in the dirt of me
And I fling up the muck and I sweat-soak the sheets

I am not the person you thought that you would hear
When you turned on the radio and I caught your ear

I can be mean, I can be bold, I am a woman growing old
And all the losses punch a gut when the storm winds blow

Why can’t you be nice to me
I love you endlessly

Everybody has regrets, everybody gets upset
Everybody is a mess, everybody isn’t yet
The person that they thought they’d be
Am I disappointing me

Why can’t you be nice to me
I love you endlessly
