Worst Case Scenario

ABOUT THE SONG 
I wrote this song around the end of 2007 or early 2008 after a long term relationship. It was the longest relationship of my early 20s, ending as I approached my 24th birthday. It was after I had ended this relationship, that I had realized that I hadn't really experienced life as a 20 something year old adult yet. I felt like maybe I was starting to settle a bit, and I needed to find myself as a young girl coming into my adulthood. I needed to feel life out a bit, and I wanted to get out and experience more things for myself without the influence of a man in my life. 

Also, at that age, people tend to grow apart as they "grow up", and as bittersweet as it is, I felt it was time for me to move on.  This is a somber sounding song acoustically, but I can hear some big guitars surrounding the bridge. Also, there is no real chorus or hook to this song. It just feels like it doesn't need one to me... This is one of those songs that I feel I just needed to get out of me emotionally at that time; I wasn't really writing this to commercially appeal to anyone, so it might not be as catchy as my other songs. That's fine, they can't all be radio polished tunes. Who knows, maybe one day I'll go back and add some kind of hook if I ever feel inspired to. I'm always down to revisit things and remix/freshen old material up a bit!

Verse 1: 
It never crossed my mind that I 
Never finished what I started
You gave me everything 
I'm sorry to say that 
This plane has departed 

Pre Chorus:
And I'm like a baby 
It's like seeing the world for the very first time
And I can't say maybe 
When the chances are slim
And the odds are a mountain to climb 

Verse 2: 
You taught me everything so 
Pointless to use in this 
Worst Case Scenario 
Another toast I make to 
Forgetting the words 
To the songs that you wrote me

Pre Chorus:
And I can't go back 
This carousel moves too fast 
In the perfect direction 
And I never speak my mind 
When the wind moves too fast
My words fly back to my face
Just like dust in my eyes...

Bridge:
You never speak your mind
You never speak your mind
You never speak your mind

Instrumental 

Outro:
I never speak my mind
When the wind moves too fast
It's just a worst case scenario...
