Her days are way too long,
Her pride is almost all gone
She asks, “Why don’t you remember me?
My reputation defines me”
So she says,
“Don’t write me out, of all your sad songs,
It’s all that I have
I know, I know this situations worth its weight in gold
&, it’s all I’ve ever known”
Her best days have come and gone,
Her contempt for that is so strong
She says, “I’ve lost all my dreams,
Instead regret consumes me”
&, then she begs,
“Don’t write me out of all your sad songs,
It’s all that I have
I know, I know this situations worth its weight in gold
&, it’s all I’ve ever known”
It’s hard to swallow your regret
It’s all she’s ever known, with nothing to show
“Don’t write me out of all your sad songs,
It’s all that I have
I know, I know this situations worth its weight in gold
&, it’s all I’ve ever known”
