The Note
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.
The note was short but oh so strong
It simply said I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
My tears fell down like falling rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
With one stroke of the pen
She wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I was the one who was to blame
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
