I find myself slowly forgetting you
Ain't it a shame that's how this ends
For oh so long we shared a bed
Shared a life and now instead
Merely strangers once again

I thought I'd write for you an elegy
I thought I'd kill us with a verse
But still there's something lingers on
Like a melancholy song
Too nostalgic to forget
Complications arose
Like a worm from a rose
Eating up everything
And though you tried to make it work
Your baby greets you with a smirk
Leaving nothing left to do, nothing to say
So I'll say this
Songbirds will sing from your trees
Pretty melodies
Far better than me
Flowers will bloom at your feet
Or something more discreet
Like a breeze amidst the heat

Oh what a way
To let someone get away like this
Might be best to not look back
And I still see you in my bed
With the sheets over your head
To block the light from the TV
Set resentments aside
Let me swallow my pride
You gave me everything
If not for you I wouldn't be me
You showed me all this boy could be
And so I'll thank you
And I'll leave you with this bittersweet goodbye

Songbirds will sing from your trees
Pretty melodies
Far better than me
Flowers will bloom at your feet
Or something more discreet
Like a breeze amidst the heat
Suitors will rush to your door
Begging you for more
But you're much more than they deserve
And I'll be a friend, not a foe
Anywhere you go
Until the very end
