Pretty High Up There
You're pretty high up there, on that horse of yours
What should happen if you fall?
I don't have to agree with you, and you don't have to agree with me
But, you do have to accept my opinion
As I have to accept yours
Because we are two different people, with two different views
Neither one is right, neither one is wrong
I admit my mistakes, which is more than most
But, will you admit yours?
Do you see your own faults, I've practically cataloged mine
I haven't always made the right choices
But, those choices are mine to make...
Yes, I'm a fool, I know
You don't have to tell me that
So, what, I'm not perfect
I don't pretend to be
And, I've loved deeply and truly
Sometimes against my will
But, love can't be ignored, or a heart turned off
I try to do right, but have not always done so
The thing is, it's not you, but me
That will deal with my mess
This is my life, not yours
So, just give it a rest
