Broken Piano
by: Skimble

Hi, remember me?  I'm the piano you used to play
Bringing forth stirring melodies and enduring rhythms
You did it all for her, you used to say

Every love song that you sang every song you used to write
Seemed to express your inner emotion as you stared off into night

Life had been good to you, you knew you had a friend
Thinking you'd play forever, you knew it couldn't end

But then she went away, and still you just played on
Praying she'd come back and once more you'd sing her song

The day had finally arrived when you knew she'd not return
And the effort of your music went to keeping alive the yearn

And to this day the music still has not had the magic you once displayed
All the wonderous tunes and melodies have long since been put away

And so I lie here, broken... my keys are old and some don't work
I can no longer play a scale without causing memories to lurk

For me, the music's dead, and I can no longer provide
Recollections of the days when she was at your side

And yet I still am here, the music's finally dead
It'll never be the same until you lose her from your head

Hi, remember me?  I'm the piano you used to play
Bringing forth stirring melodies and enduring rhythms
You did it all for her, you used to say
