I'm Only Here for the Sad Song

minor key tonality
requiems
dirges
and everything that hurts us
set to a melody

the kind of song you leave a woman to
the kind of song she leaves you to
and every time it plays you think of her face
in the space between the beats
takes you back to the place where you two first meet
every time that you hurt her
and every time that she hurt you
on every cold winter night
and each summer fight in the heat

the kind of song you bury a body to
the kind of song the dead always come back to
for every memory that just won't die
no matter how hard you try
no matter how hard you cry
the kind of song that crawls in your ears
and makes it feel like it's taken years
to say goodbye

the kind of song you just wanna be alone to
the kind of song you turn to glass from stone to

a song that's slow
a song that's sad
a song that feels like it's all you ever had
