The Piano Song
<p>“Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum”</p><p>“du-du-dum du-du-dum”</p><p>Like…</p><p>I’m here at the pianoforte again</p><p>Once again, I’m trying to play my pain away</p><p>Once again, I fail to make any change</p><p>My heart’s still feeling so much ache</p><p>And it’s not getting better in any way</p><p>“Du-du-du-dum”</p><p>“du-du-dum du-du-du-du-duu…”</p><p>Every day, I come back here again</p><p>Try to make some beauty of the pain</p><p>Some beauty of watching myself break…</p><p>Down and rebuild myself just so I can break again</p><p>I’m supposed to think back to memories of a happier time</p><p>Memories of a blissful nature, holding her hand</p><p>In the young of the night, she flashes a smile</p><p>I feel my heart beat fast, and then I tell her</p><p>She gives a bashful smile</p><p>And now I’m smiling inside</p><p>Without even realizing I’ve fallen for her</p><p>And the melancholy in the air is making me smile</p><p>Melancholy in the air making me shout</p><p>Melancholy in the air is making me cry</p><p>’Cause now all I have are sadder times</p><p>Where I’m debating whether or not to talk to her</p><p>Hands over the keyboard, should I send a “hi”?</p><p>Will talking to her fix me or break me inside?</p><p>Is it worth the risk, or should I just leave?</p><p>And I swear I want to love her unconditionally</p><p>But love is like chess, except she’s not the queen</p><p>She’s the black trying to take over the white</p><p>And I don’t know her next move, so I prepare in advance</p><p>Then she hopelessly checks on my king</p><p>And says checkmate, knocking my heart down as she takes the win.</p><p>“Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum”</p><p>“du-du-dum du-du-dum”</p><p>Like…</p><p>I’m back again</p><p>I’m hitting the keys again</p><p>They sound nice to me, but they’re giving you a migraine</p><p>That’s ’cause you weren’t supposed to see this</p><p>It’s my pain, so I’ll carry it till my back strains</p><p>Okay, that’s all now, you can leave this</p><p>I definitely didn’t write this so you can read it</p><p>I’m definitely not ever going to show this</p><p>But just in case you read this,</p><p>I need you to take me away from the keys</p><p>’Cause every time I hit them, I break a piece of me</p><p>And quick, before I end up losing me.</p><p>“Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum”</p><p>“du-du-dum du-du-dum”</p>
