My Worthless Battered Recompense

You probably think I'm selfless

Cause I devote my time

To seeing to your happiness

and throwing you a line

Whenever life has made you blue

Or just blue in the face

You know my time belongs to you

You've helped me find my place

And sometimes I get down

I won't deny the truth

But you never find out

Cause when I do I ask you

To sing for me

Cause when you do

It soothes away the hurt

So think of me

And sing me through

The worst when times gets worse

And that's why I'm always there

With whatever you need

Cause I believe that fair is fair

and you do so much more for me

So I attempt to pay you back

My worthless recompense

My insufficient tit for tat

The scales don't move an inch

Cause maybe I need help sometimes

When the world takes my joy hostage

And sometimes I can't find the rhyme

But all of this is fixed when

You sing for me

Cause when you do

It soothes away the hurt

So think of me

And sing me through

The worst when times gets worse

Maybe one day it won't be enough

And I'll stay lost at sea

But even then I will still be blessed

Because of what you were to me

Maybe one day the light will leave your eyes

And you'll no longer see

I'll hold your hands and sing you songs

and be what you are to me

I'll sing for you

It just might help

to bring about the light

I'll look at you

And sing I'm your's

And you can sing you're mine

Perhaps one day we'll sing in time

Perhaps one day we'll harmonize.
