All That Will Be Left of Us Are Broken Hearts and Promises (Meaningless)

All That Will Be Left of Us Are Broken Hearts and Promises (Meaningless)

A Poem by M. Keala Milles, Jr.

If I go, know that I love you

And I tried, but I couldn't tell you

the way I wanted to

everyday

If it seems that I 'aint gonna come back

Ask yourself why it matters so much to keep track

of all the wise-crack

things I say

 

CHORUS 1:

It seems kind of petty to

lay down to bed with you

just for the sake of making use of our mattress

now everything we do

is Meaningless, Meaningless, Meaningless to me

 

VERSE 2:

If forgiveness seems to always escape you

Maybe it's just not your way to

Keep trivialities

from tearing us apart

If somehow we found we can't make it

Believe that I never tried to fake it through

or break it down

the way you did with my heart

 

CHORUS 2:

I guess I was blind to you

Perhaps I was lying to myself

I always did find the truth a bit subjective

and anyway

its Meaningless, Meaningless, Meaningless to me

 

BRIDGE:

I could be mistaken

I thought we were in this together

We are not forsaken

So never, Never say never...

 

VERSE 3:

If goodbye is inevitable

You're just as liable as me

It's incredible

we made it this far

If I never see you again

Would it be too much to ask we pretend

It's not the end,

maybe just a new start

 

CHORUS 3:

I don't think I could go on

Without you I don't know myself

It would be like it was before (I found you)

My life would be Meaningless, Meaningless, Meaningless

without you.

loved the first chorus, but i felt the rest a tad to predictable....which can be a good quality in a song, depending on what kind of song you want to create
