Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place
And it read, «I wish you were here, I wish you were»
And it sounds like the soundtrack from my better night
And it sang, «I wish you were here. You should have stayed here»
As light leaves my eyes
I realize I must have died
It looks like I didn’t make it through the night
I’m never gonna say goodbye
I’m never gonna say anything at all against 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?»
Cause when I close my eyes
I realize I must have died
It looks like I didn’t make it through the night
I’m never gonna say goodbye
I’m never gonna say anything at all against 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, that says «Sorry you could not stay»
They came a little late, I had to wait to reply
There’s no tears up here
But surely I would have cried
To everyone I loved.
To all the ones I need.
I never meant to leave
I’m never gonna say goodbye
I’m never gonna say anything at all against 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
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
