Forever-Bound

I wanted this to be a happy song, but somehow it turned out sad.

Is every song a love song?

Does it have to play for me?

Can it just be tuned to someone

Who has yet to truly see?

Must it ever touch my ears

When all I want to do is scream?

 

Everyone's got somebody

And everyone's alone

We've all got a song for us

We sing it on our own

We breath each word like poison

And we crack each blessed note

As it struggles from our weary heart

And tears out from our throat.

 

Is every song a sad song?

Does it have to play for me?

Why ask so many questions

For a simple melody?

Why cry over a fate I've deemed

What's already to be?

 

Everyone's got somebody

And everyone's alone

We've all got a song for us

We sing it on our own

I've walked so long and hard

Along a rocky road I found

With this goddamn love song in my head

And feet forever-bound.
