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
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
