Once Again

Make me laugh
Make me cry
Hold me close and let me try
Once again

It’s over in a minute
The door closes after just one word
Everything is finished
The last scene finally fades to black

And I’m left here
All alone in the middle of this wreck,
Of the mess we made together
Shattered dreams now lying broken

Throw them in the trash
Until every trace of us is gone
And there’s nothing left to hold on to
Wipe off my feet on the welcome mat

To make sure that nothing stuck
Then stand there and listen to the quiet
My heartbeat so loud it drowns them out
The echoes of our shared past

In what was once both our place
I’ll remember those happy days
And I’ll wander these empty rooms
All that’s left of our shared legacy

Make me laugh
Make me cry
Hold me close and let me try
Once again

But it’s over in a minute
The door closes after just one word
Everything is finished
The last scene finally fades to black
