  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

• This is very conversational, I like it alot.  I forgot about the damn ending.............. wheww.. that will punch you in the gut.
  
  I might still do a few edits for line length, maybe add a few details, but I'll have to think on it.
  
  Very nice job!!

• 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...

• Nice job, since you didn't ask for feedback, I'll just answer your question. I get the sense it's about a woman who passed away. He visits the graveyard and stays til close...I'm assuming since "she slipped away"...suicide?

• 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.

• Well first, sorry to hear that...idk why but I pretty much felt she passed away right at the "every time I do, I cry" part...Maybe because you typically don't stop by an ex's house multiple times, that's a bit stalkerish...so if you want to hide the twist, you might change that line to sound like you aren't frequenting the place albeit sparsely...does that make sense? At any rate...nice job overall!
