This is the song I never wrote for you

I know I said I would

Couldn't bring myself to start it then

But maybe now I should

I didn't need to write it then

When I was by your side

That's the irony of love, my dear

I never even tried

It begins with how I fell for you

Saw myself in your eyes

I should have known how that would lead

To my own sweet demise

Well they said

He's gonna get his fucking head kicked in

He's gonna die in a fucking loony bin

Darling

Oh darling

This is the song I never wrote for you

I know I said I would

It might have turned out differently

If things had worked out good

By your side the music rose

My heart would leap and bound

And the chilling fear that maybe I

Could lose what I had found

When the hate and hurt and poisoned tongues

Rang out across the town

And then I guess the music stopped

When you were sleeping round

He's gonna get his fucking head kicked in

He's gonna die in a fucking loony bin

Darling

Oh darling

This is the song I never wrote for you

I know I said I would

It makes no sense to start it now

It won't do any good

Without them now but in my ears

A hangover subsides

You know I could have married you

I suppose we never tried

Not gonna get my fucking head kicked in

Not gonna die in a fucking loony bin

Darling

Oh darling

Not gonna get my fucking head kicked in

Not gonna die in a fucking loony bin

Darling

Oh darling
