The 'Shushh'

Took a sad song of one sweet evening, I smiled and quickly turned away. It's not easy singing sad songs but still the easiest way I have to say. So when you look into the sun and see the things we haven't done.. or was it better then to run than to spend the summer crying? So if you hear my sad song singing, remember who and what you nearly had. It's not easy singing sad songs when you can sing the song to make me glad. So when you look into the sun and see the words you could have sung: It's not too late, only begun, look into the sun.

This song..
is one I never thought that I'd play
But if you want me gone
There are kinder ways to say
So long than spitting in my face

They don’t teach these things in school
They just lay down the rules which are there for you to break

If I’m wrong
Then dust me off and put me in my place, but
Drop a bomb
Shall you blow me away without even a trace?
I’ll be gone and I won’t give chase

Cause when you’re in pieces, you pick up the bits
and nothing fits, and the wind blows you away

I pray..
There will come a time when I think of you and I smile
These days everything seems to last only a while
Remember the names
For the day when we’d have a child

But the trouble with dreams, they’re not what they seem
Cause when you awake, they fall through your fingers.. in flakes
They fall through your fingers in flakes
