I Wish I Was Dead
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.
I'm blue, my life is through.
I thought I had a date with you,
I guess I just don't rate with you,
I wish I was dead - and buried!!
I'm blue, a cast-off shoe,
I'll break right down and cry tonight,
'Cause you told me a lie tonight,
I wish I was dead - and buried!!
