Professional Daydreamer
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.
Part of me
You are a part of me
I never want to lose
Hard for me
This is too hard
Maybe I can't get through
What will I miss the most
Pray that I'm haunted by your ghost
Listening
You're always listening
I don't know what to say
Why don't you turn and run at break-neck speed
Just to get away
And when you catch your breath
Pray I said every word I meant
Alright it's alright now
Alright it's alright
Broken down
We're all so broken down
Bandages on our wings
I know I don't have to tell you
Only broken hearts can sing
I'm hoping for a sign
Pray that I'm anything but fine
Some things are never gonna change
You ought to know by now
