This song was written in spring of 2016 after a series of arguments with my husband over fault finding. My least favorite pastime.
lyrics
SAY THE SAME
You read my journal - page where I list out all your faults.
Of course you’re hurt and now you’re mad at me as well
Well who am I to say the way you should be or not be?
And who are you to turn and say the same to me?
I’ll lose my head if you don’t go read the next page.
Where I go over why I’ll always need you near.
Well who am I to say who I should need or not need?
And who are you to turn and say the same to me?
You know I love the way you put me in my place.
Of course it helps that my place is in your heart.
Well I for one would like to ask for your arms around me.
And maybe you could turn and say the same to me.
