Song For You

about

When true love turns sour.

lyrics

The first time I saw you there in that room
You turned and smiled at me
I was there by my own, wasn’t sure what to do
So I asked if the seat was free

Where does your sunshine come from
When all I ever get is continual rain?
Where does your happiness come from
When all I ever have is pain?

We’ll always have memories, whatever we do
Of that you can be sure
All those places that we went to
With the world as our open door

With half a world between us
How was it ever going to work?
All those uncertainties and complications
Left me running round and round like a jerk

All I ever wanted was for us to be free
Happy and secure
You want a life of struggle and strife
That’s not the way for me

I just wanted to be happy
To spend the rest of my life with you
A partnership without complications
Why’d you have to make me choose?
Where was it going to get us
Going down that broken, well-worn path?
How was I going to manage
Did you ever stop to think that one out?
Life is more than a script
It’s more than just simple biology
It’s more than some ticking clock
And the dictates of society
Love is not an ultimatum
You don’t just stomp your foot and get what you want
All the best for next time around
But it ain’t gonna be with me
