The Suicide Note.

Every time I see you,
I want to gain your love,
But every time I see you,
The feeling never comes,
My heart falls so low,
Every time you pass me by,
‘Cos as I say hello,
You’re telling me goodbye,
It doesn’t take a fool,
To see I’m about to fall,
So I just play it cool,
And not bother you at all,

I’ll just ride into the sunset,
Like a brave a gallant knight,
My suit of armor will help me hide,
The tears that fall inside,
And you, fair lady, will watch and wonder,
If you were right or wrong,
Knowing that I can’t come back,
After I have gone,

Yes, every time I see you,
I see the very best,
But every time I see you,
I feel an emptiness,
My heart skips a beat,
Just because you’re near,
‘Cos it’s the part of me,
That wants to know you’re here,
It doesn’t take a fool,
To see I’ll hit the floor,
So I’ll just play it cool,
And not bother you anymore,

I’ll just fly into the sunset,
Like a bird, proud in its flight,
My altitude will help me hide,
The tears that fall inside,
And you, my dove, will watch and wonder,
If you were right or wrong,
Knowing that I can’t come back,
After I have gone,

You know that every time I see you,
I want your love to show,
But every time I see you,
I know it can’t be so,
My heart feels so cold,
Knowing that I’ve lost,
‘Cos you have to be sold,
And I didn’t know the cost,
It doesn’t take a fool,
To see I should’ve known,
So I’ll just play it cool,
And leave you all alone,

I’ll just cry into the sunset,
Like a man who’s lost his pride,
And I won’t have a thing to hide,
The tears that fill my eyes,
And you, my angel, will watch and wonder,
If you were right or wrong,
Knowing that I can’t come back,
After I have gone,

And I’ll never say I love you again,
Not as a lover and not as a friend,
But if you can, remember, at one time I did,
After I have gone.
