These days I’m drinkin’ cheap wine
I’m stayin’ up all night,
I really don’t know why
I can barely get by.
Why?
The memories bring back blocked tears
Hidden for all these years
Who knows,
Maybe I’ll be better far below.
Why?
This tragedy hurts
I wish I would have been more alert,
This is why I stay away
The more I feel this way.
Why?

&ldquo;When it&#039;s over, I want to say: all my life<br /> I was a bride married to amazement.<br /> I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. <br /> <br /> When it is over, I don&#039;t want to wonder<br /> if I have made of my life something particular, and real.<br /> I don&#039;t want to find myself sighing and frightened,<br /> or full of argument. <br /> <br /> I don&#039;t want to end up simply having visited this world.&rdquo;
