Minor Key Symphony

Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place
And it read, "I wish you were here,I wish you were"
And the soundtrack, the soundtrack from my better night
And it's sang "I wish you were here
You should have stayed here"

As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died
Looks like I didn't make it through the night

I never got to say good-bye
I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony

Found a letter, a letter from my dear old friend
And it said, "I wish you were here,
I wish you were"
And a prayer, a prayer in a familiar voice
And she wept, "I wish you were here,
Why can't you be here?"

As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died
Looks like I didn't make it through the night

I never got to say good-bye
I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony

I got your flowers today
So perfectly arranged
With a card attached, "I'm sorry you could not stay"
They came a little late
I had to wait till they died
There's no tears up here
But I'm sure that I would have cried.

To everyone I've loved
To all who once loved me
I never meant to leave

I never got to say good-bye
I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
