Lyrics

Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place And it read, "I wish you were here, I wish you were" And the soundtrack, the soundtrack from a better night And it sang, "I wish you were here. You should have stayed here" As life leaves my eyes I realize I must have died It looks like I didn't make it through the night I never got to say goodbye I'll never get to say anything at all again to 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?" As life leaves my eyes I realize I must have died It looks like I didn't make it through the night I never got to say goodbye I'll never get to say anything at all again to 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, "I'm sorry you could not stay" They came a little late, I had to wait till they died There's no tears up here But I'm sure that I would have cried To everyone I've loved To all who once loved me I never meant to leave I never got to say goodbye I'll never get to say anything at all again to 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
