Opportunity To Cry
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.
Just watch the sunrise
On the other side of town
Once more I've waited
And once more you let me down
This would be a perfect time for me to die
So I'd like to take this opportunity to cry
You gave your word
Now I return it to you
You faced suggestion
As to what you can do
Just exchange the words, I love you for goodbye
While I take this opportunity to cry
I'd like to see you but I'm afraid
I don't know wrong from right
And if I saw you
Would I kiss you
Or wanna kill you on the inside
It's been a long night, so I think I'll go home
And feed my nightmares
They've been waiting all night long
They'll be blessed once to tell me goodbye
And they'll give me many
Many opportunities to cry
