Now it's all been said and done And I guess you're really gone Oh, I never meant to hurt you like I did But I guess I tried too hard And now it seems I've broken My own heart
Well you know you really tried Just to keep your pain inside Now I can't forget the magic of your touch How could I have ever loved and lost so much I guess it ain't no secret now I'm not so tough
Why does true love always end Like a whisper in the wind It surrounds me and it tears my world apart Wraps around me as it swallows up my heart And here we are alone again Where do we start?
Yet another 3 am You know this bottle ain't my friend Where are you girl, do you ever call my name? Are you lonely when you're walking in the rain? Can we really love again? Whose to blame?
But it's all been said and done Yeah, I guess you're really gone And I'll never feel your warm embrace again I close my eyes and all this pain comes crashing in Tell me why we play these games No one wins

About this poem:
Basically, on this one, I made up a beautiful, sad melody on my guitar and needed some words to fit to it. So I sat around for like, 2 years waiting for them, and then they finally came in a rush and I jotted them down in about 3 minutes! Sometimes it's like that!
It is a complicated fingerpicking construct in Dmaj7, very much like Croce's 'Time in a Bottle.' I play it, but I don't write it, but that should give you some idea of what it is like.
