Literature Text

I'm sitting on my bed
A million thoughts crowded in my head
Thinking about the times that have passed

I'm wondering this today
If there's a will, if there's a way
To change everything that turned out so wrong

I fell asleep to the thoughts about those nights
I closed my eyes and thought of all those fights
I leaned back to sigh and wish the memories away
How I wanted to return to those better days

(Chorus) I'm praying tonight for a better night
For the times we had without these foolish fights
I'm lying in bed without you by my side
These tears I'm crying are just too damn hard to hide
There's nothing else that I can do
I'm sorry baby, but I've given up on you

I'm listening to a sad love song
Wondering where the hell I went wrong
Thinking maybe I just was never good enough

I've got a million things to say
But I know that you won't stay
No matter what I do to try and keep you here

I fell asleep to the thoughts about those nights
I closed my eyes and thought of all those fights
I leaned back to sigh and wish the memories away
How I wanted to return to those better days

I never thought things could get so bad
That I could lose everything I ever had
I've tried so hard to keep you here
But when I need you most you disappear

(Chorus)
this is a song written in the perspective of a man who loves his wife but cant fight for their marriage anymore.

Must...punch...the smartasp...in face

sorry i get this feeling when someone with an ubersized-brain comes and tries to enlighten mortals with his greatness...

Hm, this song is just fine, maybe its just that you('Ali') had a bad day and feel like screwing someone.

Oh and by the way:
"..no comment that provokes thought on the human condition.."
Huh? Just try to read the song, and that means not just reading those little things between the words (a.k.a. spaces " "). If you still don't get the point, try reading it again and again until it finally crashes to your head with a mind-busting sound - --> *Bwargh*

Have a nice day =D
