Black -My Favorite Music Lyrics Contest Example

“I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I know you'll be the sun, in somebody else's sky, 
but why, why, why can't be ohhh can't be mine, ohhh why?”

A love has been lost and destroyed
Feeling pain of the emptiness and void.
Once a beautiful person lit up the day, 
but time moved on and she went another way.

Just as most of us, we've had our hearts broken.
This is exactly how I feel afterward, perfect words spoken.
Along time ago, I let the best thing in my life pass me by.
I always wonder how different it would be, if she lit up my sky.

Since then my life has been getting darker, almost black.
I just wish I had that chance and opportunity back.
I know it will never happen again, but she made me so free.
She is the first and only person who accepted me for me.
