Lyrics mostly by me, I did take Kay-lynn's suggestions on a couple of lines.

I'd like to see if you guys understand this song.

Thanks




Wouldn't End This Way

(Verse)
Darling, since the moment you slipped away
All I can do is fake it from day to day
I dream you're lying next to me at night
But you're gone before the morning light

(Pre Chorus)
It's been a while since I've stopped by
But Darling, every time I do, I cry

(Chorus)
Wish I could go back to our story's beginning
Pull out my pen and write us a different ending
Then girl, I'd have never let you slip away
And it wouldn't end this way

(Verse)
Me? Well. I tell everyone I'm okay
But I miss you more with each day
Sometimes I stare at your picture on the wall
And for a second I swear I hear you call

(Pre Chorus)
They say it's time to move on, in a way they're right
But Darling, the more I try, the more I hold on tight

(Chorus)
Wish I could go back to our story's beginning
Pull out my pen and write us a different ending
Then girl, I'd have never let you slip away
And it wouldn't end this way

(Bridge)
I've got roses in my hand, and tears in my eyes
Sorry, but I've got to go now, It's getting late
I can't believe how quiet this place gets after dark
The groundskeepers waiting to lock the gate

(Final Chorus)
Wish I could go back to our story's beginning
Pull out my pen and write us a different ending
Then girl, you'd have never slipped away
No, it wouldn't end this way
It wouldn't end this way

(outro)
Darling

I wish I didn't have to leave you here

Thanks Kay-lynn,

Thought I'd post to see if it's clear...  I know you knew what the message is in it, but wondered if others got it...

Thanks Raul, for the listen and reply.

My goal it to make the listener think he's gone to her house wishing for her back but in the end you find out he's been standing at her grave the whole time.  No I didn't have suicide in mind, this comes from an old flame that pasted from cancer. 

Thanks, I may look into a change there.
