Most of my life has been performed upon a stage,
And every time an actor leaves they're quick to be replaced,
So all the understudies start assuming former names,
But overall it stays the same,

I hope that you will be the coda in my life,
A melody to sing that will return from time to time,
And even if I strain my voice on notes that are too high,
At least I gave it a try

I won't forget you, if your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
Everything's going to be fine

I truly doubt we'll find the answer in a man,
Or reason from a choir up in heaven keeping tabs,
Cause even angels have to be confused by how we act,
You just keep coming back

There is a groove for every person that you've met,
Each track is on repeat and now and then a song will skip,
You'll try and move the needle to some new relationship,
But it won't sound that different,

I won't forget you, if your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
Everything's going to be fine

I won't forget you, if your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
I won't forget you, If your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
Unfortunately, that's life.
This is not my own work. It was created by a musical artist I consider extremely talented.
