“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.
***Pearl Jam: Black***Example for my favorite music lyrics contest.
“The indescribable moments of your life tonight.”
If you would just hold yourself up to the light.
You'll see what is meant to be,
you'll see beneath everything, you'll see me.
“Under everything, is just another human being”
It is your mind that we are freeing.
We know that love is something that can't be bought.
See past the materials, see me for what I am, not what I've got.
“If you open your mind for me, you will not rely on open eyes to see.”
I'll build your dreams with these two hands, your love being the only fee.
Today can be the greatest day of our life,
then it would get better, when I call you my wife.
I have one request for you, it may sound strange,
but please, don't ever ask me to change.
I have one thing repeating in my head,
“If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead.”
