Like a Song

This is a song i wrote, i don't know how i feel about it, so let me know what ya think!


If life were like a fairy tale
I’d be your princess
And you my prince.

We’d live in our castle
Happily ever after
The End.

But life isn’t like a story
Where everything’s alright
It’s more like a song-
It seems to end
Just as it begins.

The pain and hurt
Will devour and consume.
Your soul will lie with the dead.

Chorus-
Because it’s…
Too late
But it’s never
 too late
to say I love you.
Say I miss you when you’re gone.
When the door is closed 
Act like it’s open
Tear it down
And go inside

‘cause baby you’re a….
You’re alive
So?
If you can’t be with me
Can’t you at least promise
That you’ll never again
Leave?


If love were easy
Everyone would have it
The chase would be 
Eliminated.

We’d be together baby
Now and forever we wound
Be on top of the world….

But love isn’t like a movie
Sometimes there’s no happy ending
It’s more like a song
It seems to end
Just as it begins.

The pain and hurt
Will devour and consume
Your soul will lie with the dead.

Chorus

Why did you have to lie to me?
(lie to me)
You promised you’d love me
to the end of eternity.
But I guess words are weak
And so is your heart
I never thought
We’d be apart
But the sun eventually sets
(Softly) So did love.

Chorus

But love isn’t like a movie
Sometimes there’s no happy ending
It’s more like a song
It seems to end
Just as it begins.
