The Birth of a Song

I just wanna thank you for leaving my life
For making me drink myself into pieces
I just wanna thank you for making me cry
Full of self pity that no alcohol eases

And it's something like love when it's new
Full of hope and endless potential
It keeps your mind spinning along
Thought it might just go terribly wrong
And I thank you; my lover, so long

And I wanna thank you for breaking my heart
For never replying the letters I'm sending
I just wanna thank you for bringing along
Strange fascination of love when it's ending

Cause there's nothing like love when it's through
Full of hope and new observations
With the risk of sounding quite dumb
Well that's where all the music comes from
Should I ask you to come back, my lover, don't come

Well, once again thank you for cheating on me
And blessing my life with all the unspoken
And I wanna thank you for helping along
That new inspiration of a heart that is broken

Cause there's nothing like a song when it's new
Full of hope and endless potential
Well, it might make the world sing along
And it might just go terribly
But there's nothing like witnessing the birth of a song
