One Last Melody

Sing me a melody before you turn the key to the doorknob
Sing me one last rhythm before you get your bags
Remind me why you once stayed
Why you once cherished me in every way
So sing me a melody before you fade away
The melody doesn’t have to be soft
It can be so bittersweet
Just play one note to not be forgotten
I promise then I will let you leave
Sing me a melody, rhythmic harmony
Then I promise it will be easier for both of us to part
