Puzzle that was Me

inspired by American Pie by Don Mclean

American Pie

Was the honest lie

That made her cry

That made her sigh

 

Hallelujah goodbye.

 

And that was that,

And this was this,

 

And perhaps we’ll see,

Someday we all will be

The ones who hold the key

To the puzzle that was me

 

As we sing

 

Hallelujah goodbye

 

Loud from east to west,

Quick from better to best

 

Unless we’ll end

Before we mend

The looks we send

The words we bend

 

Hallelujah goodbye

 

And that was that,

And this was this,

 

And bend to break,

Before we think to make

The lives that are at stake,

Words: those were never fake.

 

Hallelujah goodbye

 

And was it all only a wish?

Never a chance—all only a wish?

 

American Pie

Was the honest lie

That made her cry

That made her sigh

 

Hallelujah goodbye.
