Symphony

Lonely, is all I will ever be
Hold me long enough to catch a glimpse
Of what could have been but will never be
Unbreakable, this cycle that I'm trapped in
I can't believe that I let all of this happen again
You say can we just be friends

But I've had a long night and a long drive
To your apartment
I thought that the street signs
Would point me to your heart
And a little of your time
But I guess they lied
And now I'm sitting on the cold curb
With the sweatshirt that you gave back
Scent of perfume hangs around
As I think back to the time
That I could call you mine

Symphony, won't you play me that melody
The one from the sad song that goes on and on
As I forget how to breathe
Oh symphony, this sound is a remedy
To heal from the burden of the hurtin'
But never completely

Lonely, is all I will ever be
Craving connection but it flees from me
Far away, though I chase it escapes
Over horizons miles away
Black and white the colors fade
Grasping for light but it goes away
Oh how I remember sunny days
But I guess that's changed

Now I'm in a dark room with a blindfold over my eyes
Clarity doesn't seem close unless its disguised
As something else
And you're far away probably forgetting my name
Hung up on some other guy in another state
I hope he treats you well

Symphony, won't you play me that melody
The one from the sad song that goes on and on
As I forget how to breathe
Symphony, this sound is a remedy
To heal from the burden of the hurtin'
But never completely

Symphony, I'm calling out to thee
To send me distractions
From what's happening
Let the music set me free
Oh symphony, as I recall from my memory
The heart is a battle field
And the weak will yield
To the pain that was destined to be
