I was sitting in my room

My problems seemed to loom

At me, up at me.

I turned the stereo on

And listened to the song

That played first.

 

Well, it didn't seem too wrong for you,

It seemed  to be a song for you,

The one I wanted to write for you,

For you.

 

Why do I always

Feel so blue?

Can you love me?

I do love you.

 

A penny for your thoughts, my dear.

 

My problems still are here

They fill me with a fear

Again, once more.

What can I compensate

To raise me from this fallen state

From the depths

Of love?
