I'd Rather Write a Symphony

I'd rather write a symphony

Than play this lonely melody

You know I just gotta bring it all out

So if you need my company

Open your eyes, look at me

While I'm singing my life away

I'd rather hear your interlude

Than live my life in solitude

You know it's so hard to play it alone

So if you need me close to you

Stay by my side and help me through

While I'm singing my pain away

Often we're aching

We're so easily breaking

My fingers are shaking

Oh, I gotta hang on to myself

Often it's trying

Hiding tears when I'm crying

When somethin' is wrong

It's hard to be strong

The minute they're gone

I'll carry on

I'd rather share your sympathy

Than sail away in majesty

You know I'm dying to have you around

I'd rather write a symphony

Than play this lonly melody

You know I just gotta bring it all out

So if you need my company

Open your eyes, look at me

While I'm singing my life away
