Song Lyrics - A Song About the End of a Relationship

Below are the first song lyrics I have ever written. I have been wanting to attempt to write lyrics for a while, because I love music, especially music with good lyrics. After all, music is a universal medium; perhaps the most powerful of all.

I don't know if this is a good song or not. Feel free to publish your thoughts in the comments box. I just wrote it how it turned out in my head. I have an idea of the way it should sound, but I cannot write music or play an instrument so I am unable to produce the melody.

It is a song about the end of a relationship, as many songs are. It explores the emotions at suddenly finding oneself alone again.

I remember things we did

And those words you used to say,

You painted rainbows on my world

You took away my grey,

Thought what we had was special,

Though who doesn't think that way?

Start out a hopeful optimist

Just end in disarray,

So why did it all go wrong,

When what we had was good?

You know I'd make it right again

If I could

You smile out from our photo,

Your arm around my waist,

I want to walk away, though

I can't help but contemplate,

Was it me, or was it you?

Oh, what's the point in blame?

Somewhere down the pathway

Something must have changed

So why did it all go wrong

When everything was good?

You know I'd make it right again

If I could

Some day I'll fall in love again,

At least that's what they say,

It doesn't really help

With the way I feel today,

Love can end explosively

Or simply fizzle out,

Not everything in life can last,

That's not what life's about

So why did it all go wrong

When everything was good?

You know I'd make it right again

If I could

The black of night holds memories

That embed upon my soul

Can't sleep, can't think, can't get away,

My strange, new, empty world,

The moon shines through the curtain

I'm waiting for the day,

Darkness tears through my disguise -

And how do stars fall apart, anyway?
