I wish it didn't happen but it did You should be lighting fireworks and running with the kids It's the kinda things you wanna see 'em happen to do I wish it didn't happen but it did Should be dancning under that old mirror ball I only wish we could talk as all The new beginning started at the end I wish it didn't happen I wish it didn't happen And the word that you had written down Only part of you still left around Every letter I didn't wanna keep I just read 'em and weep I just read 'em and weep How come the good ones have to go How come the last force that you loved your own How come it never stops The world just moves right on How come the good ones have to go Listen to that same song of ours Over and over while watching all the cars Maybe you went us down or your voice just shut I'll listen to the same song of ours Every letter you had written down Only part of you still left around Every letter I didn't want to keep I just read 'em and weep I just read 'em and weep Yeah you're still there Yeah you're still there in the midnight air Yeah you're still here Yeah you're still here in the midnight air Every letter that you wrote I didn't want to keep I just read 'em and weep I just read 'em and weep I just read 'em and weep
