the hardest heartbreak around (4:44 AM)

there's that one song
              she sings
when everything seems
      so far away
         and today
       resembles a dream
             in the way
      she closes her eyes
         this time
it's forever
              ah

she shops around for
            heartstrings
             and brings
   the candles down from
           the cupboard
so hard
             and sometimes life
reminds her of
                         death
      but not always
                   not always forever
                 ah

so many people on the streets
               she meets
                                a few
     and maybe you're there too
             on the wind swept streets
         one of the ones she meets
         one of the songs she sings
                      hums to herself
                as the sun drips
                   across the sky
                        tonight
               it's forever
                                        ah
