[Verse 1]
I find myself slowly forgetting you
Ain't it a shame that's how this ends?
For oh so long we shared a bed
Shared a life and now instead
Merely strangers once again
I thought I'd write for you an elegy
I thought I'd kill us with a verse
But still, this something lingers on
Like a melancholy song
Too nostalgic to forget

[Verse 2]
Complications arose
Like a word from a rose
Eating up everything
And though you try to make it work
Your baby greets you with a smirk
Leaving nothing left to do
Nothing to say
So I'll say this

[Chorus]
Songbirds will sing from your trees
Pretty melodies
Far better than me
Flowers will bloom at your feet
Or something more discreet
Like a breeze amidst the heat
[Verse 3]
Oh what a way
To let someone get away like this
Might be best to not look back
And I still see you in my bed
With the sheets over your head
To block the light from the TV

[Verse 4]
Set resentments aside
Let me swallow my pride
You gave me everything
If not for you I wouldn't be me
You showed me all this boy could be
And so I'll thank you and I'll leave you with this bittersweet goodbye

[Chorus]
Songbirds will sing from your trees
Pretty melodies
Far better than me
Flowers will bloom at your feet
Or something more discreet
Like a breeze amidst the heat

Suitors will rush to your door
Begging you for more
But you're much more than they deserve
And I'll be a friend, not a foe
Anywhere you go
Until the very end
