Sweet Melody

Stuck in a quiet room
All by myself
Taking every piece of me
And putting it on a shelf
Thinking "how could this be?"
I had fought
I had strained
I had won
But when you think it's over
It has actually just begun

I hope to hear
The sweetest melody
And I fear
You will not love me
The same if I change
Dear
And you know I will
Because frankly, baby
Things don't stay the same

Several years had come and gone
And I was starting to think you'd see
Don't pass her by
She's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
She's the girl that
Everyone wishes they knew
And who would've thought
That girl is you

I hope to hear
The sweetest melody
And I fear
You will not love me the same if I change
Dear
And you know I will
Because frankly, baby
Things don't stay the same

And you find yourself
Sitting alone on those cold, dark nights
Wishing you were the same
What a shame
You fight your character
While trying to stay upright
And the thoughts in your head
Flicker, all night
But in the daytime things start to change
And you finally feel alive
All those things that made you want to run and hide are gone
And you can finally breathe
And while you sit in silence
Once again
You can hear the sweetest melody

I hear the sweetest melody
And I fear
You
You will not love me the same if I changed
My dear
And you know I will
Because frankly, baby
Things don't stay the same

I hear the sweetest melody
And I fear
That you will not love me the same if I change
Dear
And you know I will
Because frankly, baby
Things don't stay the same
