I started writing this song in late 1987, attempting to record it in a studio with just the lyrics (that was a bad idea). At the time, both the music and the lyrics weren't "ready," so the song didn't go on my 1990 Dreams & Wishes album. Eventually, I even lost the demo recording of the song, but that was for the best. But this week, I decided to rewrite most of the lyrics and even change the title. Using Suno A.I., I finally completed the song.

It was originally about having mixed feelings about my never confessing my romantic feelings towards my first crush, a childhood female friend. Now, nearly forty years later, I approached it from the point of a man who's learned from his experiences and can see the whole thing more clearly now. So, it's about closure. Since the experience was in the height of the 1980s, I went for the 1980s pop rock style and it worked surprisingly well. It's called "Better Left Unsaid."
