The Memory Is Cruel
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.
She's not coming home tonight
She says that she's left forever.
And you're staying in the house
Where she's going to live forever.
And the memory is cruel
It reminds there's no one new
Time is nothing but a lie
If she's not coming home tonight.
And your sleep will never be as good as it used to be
When the one you love is gone,
When the one you love is gone.
Dararara...
While you're waiting for the sun
The space around you is very quiet.
So you breathe in, close your eyes
You can feel her warmth inviting you to dance...
She's cruel,
She reminds there's no one new
Time is nothing but a lie
If she's not coming home tonight
And your sleep will never be as good as it used to be
When the one you love is gone,
When the one you love is gone.
Dararara...
