(Verse 1) I had this perfect line right on my tongue, Silver and sharp like a midnight sun, But now it's gone like a stolen kiss, Vanished clean into the abyss— (Pre-Chorus) So I'll hum what's left in my hollow chest, Patch up the holes with something less, Forgotten words but the feeling's true, Guess I'll sing what I still remember of you— (Chorus) La-da-da, da-da-dum, All the right lyrics but the wrong ones come, La-da-da, da-da-day, I'll love you wrong in the rightest way— (Verse 2) The second verse was a work of art, Poetic grace, a thief's sweetheart, Now it's just "uhh" and a shaky rhyme, Stumbling through the wreck of time— (Bridge) Maybe the best songs aren't perfect, Maybe the best words get wrecked, Maybe the heart sings what the mind forgets— (Verse 3) Third act twist, no script in sight, Just ad-libbed love in the neon light, Freestyling fate with a crooked grin, Making it up as I fall back in— (Pre-Chorus) So I'll hum what's left in my hollow chest, Patch up the holes with something less, Forgotten words but the feeling's true, Guess I'll sing what I still remember of you— (Chorus) La-da-da, da-da-dum, All the right lyrics but the wrong ones come, La-da-da, da-da-day, I'll love you wrong in the rightest way— (Verse 4) Final verse, no grand design, Just half-formed thoughts and a fading line, But if the melody finds its way, Does it matter what I didn't say? (Bridge) Maybe the best songs aren't perfect, Maybe the best words get wrecked, Maybe the heart sings what the mind forgets— (Chorus) La-da-da, da-da-dum, All the right lyrics but the wrong ones come, La-da-da, da-da-day, I'll love you wrong in the rightest way— (Outro) So here’s to the songs we never quite knew, The broken lines that still ring true, La-da-da, da-da— Oh hell, I forgot that part too.
