lyrics

I should write a letter that I'll never send
And tell you everything that's on my mind
If it would make a difference, I would write a million songs
And bring you all the roses I could find

But I don't think I'll ever say a word to you
And years from now you'll still be with your man
Even if I died tomorrow, you would not be at my service
'Cause you have no idea who I am
I used to hate the winter and all that it brings
The dark and cold that loomed beyond these walls
But now that summer's here and it's too hot to leave the house
I find myself inside just waiting for the fall

You deserve someone who loves you like I do
But I don't deserve anyone like you
This is the irony of love
Life was never fair, and I've had enough
I will die alone
Everyone dies alone
