[Verse 1] You deserve a song so long, it plays behind the hurt Beyond the tears, beyond the courtesy of elementary melodies And chord progressions much like these [Hook 1] To love and be loved, who'd have thought it'd be so mysterious? It would be painful without bruises and subject to who chooses To pull the plug and hope that no one sinks [Verse 2] You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the fade Beyond the place where all our memories repeat into eternity Preserving them so bittersweet, for better or worse [Hook 2] What's the harm in a little disillusion? A little rosy hue and a drink to see it through To separate my logic from my ways [Bridge] I can and I will, and I can and I will move on And you can and you will, and you can and you will move on [Outro] You deserve a song so long and crafted with hands of love and capability So I'll retire, I'll keep it brief Admiring you lovingly So long, so long, so long
