It's Not Fair
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.
Day and night, I find myself
Trying to figure out a way to make this work somehow
But my emotions always get in the way
Of what I really mean to say
And it only makes things worse, somehow
It's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
It's like every time I talk to you
Things fall right apart again
'Cause I start feeling that emptiness
That lies deep in my heart
And this telephone
It won't change that im still alone
And I wish that things could go
Back to how they used to be before
It's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh even a walk through the park is not the same
When you're not there
Even the picture frame it feels my pain
And who's to blame? All I know,
It's not fair (it's not fair)
I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair (it's not fair)
Oooh I wanna be there (wanna be there) where you are
Ooh la la la la la
la la la la la lala
la la la la la lala la la
Ooh la la la la oooh
la la la la lala
la la la la la lala la oooh
Ooh It's, it's not fair
I wanna be there where you are
Oh it's, it's not fair
I wanna be there where you are
