Collaborated with author Ann Aguirre on this song. She wrote the lyrics as part of her new book Queen of Bright & Shiny Things. I wrote and recorded the music.
lyrics
Monday, midnight
People say it'll be all right
I see the tunnel
But there's no light.
Chorus:
life is bitter, bittersweet
it all changed in a heartbeat
too little, too late
only my heart to break
I close my eyes and
I fade away
(fade away)
Sunday, sunny day
Wish the world would go away
Dreams cost too much
And I can't pay.
Chorus:
life is bitter, bittersweet
it all changed in a heartbeat
too little, too late
only a heart to break
I close my eyes and
I fade away
(fade away)
Wednesday, gray dawn.
All night, I left the music on.
The silence is too loud
Without your song.
Chorus:
life is bitter, bittersweet
it all changed in a heartbeat
too little, too late
only my heart to break
I close my eyes and
I fade away
(fade away)
Friday, evening,
Is when I stopped believing.
Wanna find my smile again
But I can't stop grieving.
Last Chorus:
life is bitter, bittersweet
it all changed in a heartbeat
too little, too late
only a heart to break
I close my eyes and
I fade away (don't let me)
...fade away
