It doesn't matter how hard I try,
It will never ever be all right.
Plans go wrong,
Life goes on,
Only to come back in black and white.

It is too much to bear
When I know that I care,
And life doesn't feel fair,
But I can't help but stare.
Stare at all I have left,
Memories that are dead,
But it's all in my head.
It follows me to bed.
I've known her for all time,
She's a great friend of mine.
Her laughter is divine,
Her eyes won't cease to shine.
But friends always were we,
Until "we" ceased to be,
And now it's only me,
Happened too fast to see.
All too quick to believe,
And I still can't conceive,
She was there, but now she's
Something I can't retrieve.
I can not help but weep,
It's a force I can't beat.
This has been my whole week,
Crying myself to sleep.

It doesn't matter how hard I try,
It will never ever be all right,
Plans go wrong,
Life goes on,
Only to come back in black and white.

She's got a boyfriend now,
A good catch to be found.
But now he's around, and
I'm pushed off common ground.
Nowhere to go and hide,
Hide the drops I have cried.
Instead I take a pen
And write this tear-blotched line.
As the day turns to night,
As dark overtakes light,
I struggle to find an
Anchor for my lifeline.
Or I'll be lost at sea,
Drowned by my late-night dreams.
Photos and memories,
All friends, no enemies.
Faded smiles lost after
And ill-captured laughter.
Though time moves faster, the
Older days were better.
Sometimes those smiles return,
Then they smoke and burn, in
Flames of lives which conform
To forget the love born.

It doesn't matter how hard I try,
It will never ever be all right.
Plans go wrong,
Life goes on,
Only to come back in black and white.

It doesn't matter how long I fight,
Eventually I will have no might.
Sing a song,
Life goes on.
Losing hope that it will be all right.
