the band started to play
the song we danced to the night
I fell in love with you
and it broke my heart in two
thinking of what we used to do
but no longer since you went away
the melodies smashed every inch
of the smile I was wearing before
the musical notes floated into the air
it took everything inside me
to keep the tears from falling
exposing my still vulnerable heart
