Swan Song

from Romanticide [EP] by The Last Domino

/

about

I originally wrote this for a songwriting class that I took in college. It had vastly different lyrics at the time, and they were pretty unremarkable. Funny how a year can change someone so much. Unless you think these lyrics suck too, in which case shut up.

lyrics

Tell me yet another
Humor me and stutter
And shift the guilt
But you began the malice
Which shattered down the palace
That took years to build
I've been down, but I've discovered
Love is for the lovers
So why pretend?
Why make amends if the glue won't dry?

So just sing me somethin' bright
Sing me somethin' other than lies

Oh come on, that's a given
You know that other women
Never took your place
You were the only one cheatin'
And I kept on believin'
Your angelic face
I've been down, but I've forgiven
Life is here for livin'
Not for regrets
Still, happiness is a fool's paradise

So just sing me somethin' bright
Sing me somethin' other than lies
Just a swan song to keep your respect
When I say goodbye

Sing somethin' beautiful
Sing me somethin' magical
Just a swan song to restore your pride
