BUTTER FINGERS By Tom Jensen
The one thing that I would never do…
Is burn this bridge that leads to you
One thing that I would never say…
Is that baby I was born this way
But maybe I was just a little late
For the best things in life
Sometimes you wait but you run
The risk that things can get misplaced
If you hesitate or stand idly by
And rather than run the race
You pull up lame and cry
As tears roll down your face
Never have I been one
To promise you the sun
I am just a man
I hope you understand
I love you… I did this for the best
I trusted you… But you have failed the test
As I sit here looking back at you
I hope to god what you said is not the truth
It’s not my fault….I never neglected you
So why do you look at me the way you do
I was not the one
to put you in this place
I just couldn’t catch
your fall from grace
