Staccato Lyrics

A tear in the fabric of your life

Put your future in doubt

Everything that you held dear

Started running out

Look at all the things you've lost

Never to return

No way to assess the cost

You'd think in time you'd learn

So many things you wanted to be

Seems like ancient history

Life didn't turn out like you thought

The despair of a dream cut short

Writing is the only means

You have of purging your soul

The only part of your life

Over which you have control

But loneliness and time

Robbed you of that gift

And without that ability

It seemed there was nothing left

So many things you wanted to share

Only wanting a reason to care

Life didn't turn out like you thought

The grief of a love cut short

Withdrawing even further from the public view

Nothing to do but ponder the life that you once knew

The life that had so much potential starting out

But ended up being full of fear, regret and doubt

What kind of a life is that

I couldn't live that way

I guess you figured that out as well

And ended it that day

So many things you wanted to do

But time finally caught up with you

Life didn't turn out like you thought

The tragedy of a life cut
