The Birth of a Song

I just wanna thank you for leaving my life

For making me drink myself into pieces

I just wanna thank you for making me cry

Full of selfpity that no alcohol eases

And it’s something like love when it’s new

Full of hope and endless potential

It keeps your mind spinning along

Though it might just go terribly wrong

And I thank you, my lover, so long

And I want to thank you for breaking my heart

For never replying the letters I’m sending

I just want to thank you for bringing along

That strange fascination of love when it’s ending

Cause there’s nothing like love when it’s through

Full of hope and new observations

With the risk of sounding quite dumb

Well, that’s where all the music comes from

And should I ask you to come back, my lover, don’t come

Well, once again thank you for cheating on me

And blessing my life with all the unspoken

And I want to thank you for helping along

That new inspiration of a heart that is broken

Cause there’s nothing like a song when it’s new

Full of hope and endless potential

Well it might make the world sing along

And it might just go terribly wrong

But there’s nothing like witnessing

The birth of a song
