Tragedy
December 31, 2001
There were movie posters all over your room
They’re still on the wall
But the Theatre programs, Hawaiian shirts and TV Guides
They’re in boxes down the hall
Shouldn’t be left here Should’ve been gone Shouldn’t be kept here With an unfinished song Think of all of the people Saying God why me? Staring into the face of Tragedy
Creating Brilliance from the bits and pieces Of the broken rules and tattered style Using channeled aggravation And some misplaced indignation You made it all worthwhile
Should’ve been left here Should’ve been gone Should’ve been kept here To harmonize this song I try to find a good reason What good would that do Should’ve been left here Somebody like you
Flyers litter the streets; the photographs and descriptions Wind has set them free The hope is gone if it ever even existed Crumbled like brittle leaves
Should’ve been left here Should’ve been gone You should’ve been kept here To finish this song I think of all of the wonder You never lived to see On my shoulder I feel it Tragedy
Head down in the pouring rain Head down on the blackest day
Shouldn’t be left here Should’ve been gone Shouldn’t be kept here With an unfinished song Think of all of the people Saying God why me? Staring into the face of Tragedy
Creating Brilliance from the bits and pieces Of the broken rules and tattered style Using channeled aggravation And some misplaced indignation You made it all worthwhile
Should’ve been left here Should’ve been gone Should’ve been kept here To harmonize this song I try to find a good reason What good would that do Should’ve been left here Somebody like you
Flyers litter the streets; the photographs and descriptions Wind has set them free The hope is gone if it ever even existed Crumbled like brittle leaves
Should’ve been left here Should’ve been gone You should’ve been kept here To finish this song I think of all of the wonder You never lived to see On my shoulder I feel it Tragedy
Head down in the pouring rain Head down on the blackest day
