I try to let go of this pain that I show but my wound is so deep and severe I close my eyes tight with all of my might to abstain from shedding a tear my near constant fight every morning noon and night keeps me wishing that you were near but my reality is this no more than a wish that shall forever fall on deaf ear So I jive, and i swing, cause ive gotta play the part But deep deep down I cant deny ,its plain to see I’ve got a broken heart I tried to rewrite all the wrongs, and make it right but I’m stuck in this loop of despair There’s a melody so sweet that it sweeps me off my feet but reminds me that you cant be here Every saxophone sigh is a whisper goodbye as I sway in this solo affair But I’ll keep my chin high under this forlorn sky ‘cause you know im the king of despair ( saxophone solo ) As the music fades so do my woes and thats just how the story goes (scatting solo) I close my eyes tight with all of my might to abstain from shedding a tear my near constant fight every morning noon and night keeps me wishing that you were near but my reality is this no more than a wish that shall forever fall on deaf ear
