LYRIC FOR SALE

By Six Degrees

My darling

I never wanted to write these words
I never wanted you to hear this song
I said forever and I really meant it
I thought our futures would be joyous and long
Yet here you are in a sodden graveyard
Quietly weeping by a grey headstone
And I’m not here to hold your umbrella
You’ll have to face this downpour on your own

My one regret is all the time I wasted
With pointless worries of what might have been
Pre-scripted arguments for nothing
And dress rehearsals for imagined scenes
I wish I’d stayed with you in those moments
I wish I’d cherished all the simple joys
Those knowing looks and helpless laughter
Distance and death have just destroyed

I won’t be able to speak to you again
These words will be the last I get to say
You’re always welcome here at my tombstone
But now your words can only go one way
I loved you more than anything I knew
Remember that and hold it in your heart
Don’t waste the moments I wasted myself
Write off today but make tomorrow a new start
