A Ballad For Our Time
0 reviewsAnother song-thing. Written for...someone. Eh, it came to me at 3 in the morning, so it'll suck. PG for cussing.
0Unrated
I had no idea I could be this much of a downer at 3 in the morning. Monochrome was written at the same time, you know.

Oh well,
Isn’t this just great
We’re falling apart
Before this even has a chance to-start
Can’t say I didn’t see it coming
Can’t say we had it all together
From the very beginning
Well hey hey
We’ve run out of sparks
To light this dead love afire
And no no
We were never meant to be
But I can’t seem to say
‘No this doesn’t hurt,’
For the life of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yeah
It was great when we started off
I couldn’t get enough of you
And you, you wouldn’t let go of me
So damn it
What happened?
We can’t fix this
Do you hate me?
Well hey hey
I’ve got nothing left to say to you
‘Cause all we do is scream and fight
And yea yea
I’d do absolutely anything
To get my beloved back
So shoot me
Oh shit, what happened
Damn it, what’s going on
With me
[With you, with everyone]
You’re the center of my life
[Take you away, take you away]
I’ve fallen, fallen on my knees
[On my knees, I’m begging you]
We could make it together
[‘Cause I’d kill to see your smile one last time]
[Aishiteru]
[‘I love you’ is so easy to say,
But do you feel the emotion behind my words?]
Well hey hey love
We’ll see how this plays out
And if we burn, we’ve only got ourselves to blame
But hey hey angel
For you, I would do anything
So speak and it will be done
Can you hear it?
[A song of our love, A song of what we both know we need]
Play our song again
Play our song again
Play our song again
Play our song again
For me
[I can still hear the echo of piano keys
Tapping out our melody]
[If I close my eyes, I can almost see you there]
[When I reach out you’ll be gone,
But there’s nothing left of me
And losing you would be so…hard
Wish you’d forever stay with me]

Aishiteru = I love you, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Japanese.
