[Give Me] A Melody
It's easy to say it'll all be the same
When everyone knows that it's going to change
I'm trying my hardest to just fall asleep
But these waves that I toss in are growing too deep
I'm getting the feeling it's falling apart
Not just these four walls but also my heart
The sky's been a little too dark for too long
And, God, I've been playing the same damn ten songs
So give me a melody, something to sing
And I'll forget all about all the pain that you bring
These words couldnt mean any more than they do
Dear, I just hope that you'll realize I'm singing for you
Remember the days when we'd dance in the rain?
And we'd kiss every gray cloud and beg it to stay
Because blue skies meant summer and summer meant change
To stories that barely would fill up a page
Well, goodbye's a word that I never did learn
Like the way saying love, it just makes your heart yearn
For a place you could call home and always feel safe
From the storms and the fear of walking away
So give me a melody, something to sing
And I'll forget all about all the pain that you bring
These words couldnt mean any more than they do
Dear, I just hope that you'll realize I'm singing to you
I'm begging you, please, just stay by my side
For such a big world there's just nowhere to hide
Like all of those nights that we spent in your bed
And all of those times that I watched as you bled
Although I cant save you please know that I tried
But love is for lovers and this is just lies
So give me a melody, something to sing
And I swear that I'll give you everything
These words couldnt mean any more than they do
But this time, I've gotta let go of you...
