everything happens for a reason

I had to cut the verses in parenthesis so that my camera would record it. Maybe someday I can record for real.

(lyrics)

She lifts her head
To the mirage of his dent on her bed
She's been seeing things all night
Repeating words that once felt right

They were three years gone wrong
And those three years never felt so long
If the past is a mistake
Then this future's hard to take

She would play back ancient mixed tapes
Reread notes from long ago
There's no warmth in faded pictures
When you realize you're alone

(She doesn't care
She's quit her job and cut her hair
Trying to erase
The mark of their love on her face

Looking hard to find
The unchanged pieces of her life
But there is just no trace
In her naïve, dark eyed, dreaming face)

She would play back ancient mixed tapes
Reread notes from long ago
There's no warmth in faded pictures
When you realize you're alone

And it hurts her so just to hear you say That they are both better off this way
You can stick all those stale clichés
Where the sun don't shine

She waits instead
For their love to finally lie down dead
And it's decomposing slow
The common life they used to know

She would playback ancient mixed tapes
Reread notes from long ago
There's no warmth in faded pictures
When you realize you're alone
