When They Told Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When they told me that you had away
There was nothing I could do to keep you here
I was standing on a roof top of a hospital in baltimore
Losing my religion and my youth
I thought I'd never love again
And I did not even care to see my friends
How would I ever smile again?
This depression is a monster but I'm still alive
See the light of day
When they told me that I had to let you go
Words could not describe my feelings, you will never know
Standing on a roof top of a hospital in baltimore
Losing my religion and my youth
