Better Next Time

© JP Asher 2025 _____________ It was so easy to start So hard to end Was I complacent Was I really a friend The taste of summer A bitter rhyme I promise you I'll do better next time I meant what I said, no matter what These feelings lost that time forgot We met again Under the tree Blurring backwards Flying free All so different Yet the same A promise by Another name I meant what I said, no matter what These feelings lost that time forgot I didn't know, I didn't try I didn't mean to make you cry Sweet words became a bitter rhyme I'll do better next time I see your face In every street Under my eyes Under my feet Is it too late Left me on read Am I the Villain instead I didn't know, I didn't try I didn't mean to make you cry Sweet words became a bitter rhyme I'll do better next time I'll pay the price, I did the crime My words became a bitter rhyme But still redemption can be mine I'll do better next time I didn't know, I didn't try I didn't mean to make you cry Sweet words became a bitter rhyme I'll do better next time I didn't know, I didn't try I didn't mean to make you cry Sweet words became a bitter rhyme I'll do better next time
