Thanks to everyone that voted this song into first place! I really appreciate it!

For my second original, I had three goals for it.

1) It had to have a name.
2) It had to be good, if not better than my last.
3) It had to have lyrics.

Yes, that's right. This song has lyrics. Go ahead and sing.

This was a joy to make, even though it took a long, long, LONG time to make (the basic concept started after my last Original).

Hopefully you enjoy!


"Melancholy" lyrics:

Home from work, just to see your face
Instead an envelope takes it's place
Inside it says, "It's been a few rough years;
By the time you read this I won't be here."

I drop the note onto the floor
I don't want to see it anymore
I look back to see what went wrong
I'll take a guess that you knew all along

What did I do?
I really loved you
I wish that I knew

I thought things were right
Now I see the light
So, with all my might

It's 1 at night, and I'm fighting
My life is not right without you
It's been a while since I've seen your smile
But now that we're done; the fun's through

Memories of you make me happy
But now, that you're gone
I'm melancholy

Get up from bed; I can't go to sleep
With all the memories I have to keep
Up on the alter until we both die
While I meant it, you had to lie

What did I do?
I really loved you
I wish that I knew

I thought things were right
Now I see the light
So, with all my might

It's 2 at night, and I'm fighting
My life is not right without you
It's been a while since I've seen your smile
But now that we're done; the fun's through

Memories of you make me happy
But now, that you're gone
I'm melancholy

(Funky solo)

What did I do?
I really loved you
I wish that I knew

I thought things were right
Now I see the light
So, with all my might

It's 3 at night, and I'm fighting
My life is not right without you
It's been a while since I've seen your smile
But now that we're done; the fun's

It's 4 at night, and I'm fighting
My life is not right without you
It's been a while since I've seen your smile
But now that we're done; the fun's

(Background Choir)
It's 5 at night, and I'm fighting
My life is not right without you
It's been a while since I've seen your smile
But now that we're done; the fun's through

Memories of you make me happy
But now, that you're gone
I'm melancholy

The sun's rising, and I'm fighting
My life is not right
without you.
