minor key symphony - cauterize

Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place
And it read, "I wish you were here, I wish you were"
And the soundtrack, the soundtrack from a better night
And it sang, "I wish you were here. You should have stayed here"
As life leaves my eyes
I realize I must have died
It looks like I didn't make it through the night
I never got to say goodbye
I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
Found a letter, a letter from my dear old friend
And it said, "I wish you were here, I wish you were"
And a prayer, a prayer in a familiar voice
And she wept, "I wish you were here, why can't you be here?"
As life leaves my eyes
I realize I must have died
It looks like I didn't make it through the night
I never got to say goodbye
I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
I got your flowers today
So perfectly arranged
With a card attached, "I'm sorry you could not stay"
They came a little late, I had to wait till they died
There's no tears up here
But I'm sure that I would have cried.
To everyone I've loved
To all who once loved me
I never meant to leave
I never got to say goodbye
I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
