All She Wrote
© 2009

Woke up feeling alone here and then…
Put at a distance by my closest friend
Got the feeling it’s all over again

Trying to figure all of this out
I never seem to know what it’s all about
Pulling the certain from the shadows of doubt

I never wanted to believe it could be over
Not in my wildest dreams did I think it could be over

Can’t fit a word in edgewise
Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?
I’ll turn another blind and blackened eye

A cryptic message was her goodbye note
“I’m sorry darling but I’ve lost all hope
I’m so in love, I can’t cope” – that’s all she wrote!

Was it love of someone else?
That’s all she wrote
Was it want of something else?
That’s all she wrote

Now I am mulling over every subtle warning
The thought of starting over, a battered heart in mourning
The things we said and left unsaid, a fractured love that’s left for dead
As all these feelings overwhelm, another spell in hell, a living hell
Without a reason that I can name
I’m sure I’ll shoulder the wealth of the blame
Love is truly the most dangerous game
She was never much for writing, so
Not much to go on from this final note
“I’ve lost all hope, I’m so in love, I can’t cope”– that’s all she wrote!

I’m so in love that I have lost all hope
That’s all she wrote
And I have lost all hope
That’s all she wrote
Was it love of someone else?
That’s all she wrote
Was it want of something else?
That’s all she wrote
