Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

She was still sleeping
The problem will stay
One more day
Said she's not sorry
The wind blows her way
Accidents happen
There's one planned today
Oh, you see
I wish it was not true
But that's the way it is
It's not your fault
That's the way it is
I'm sick of you
And that's the way it is
And will always be
Wednesday is over
It's over again
Said my goodbyes
To the life we won't spend
Together
I wish it was not true
But that's the way it is
It's not your fault
That's the way it is
I'm sick of you
And that's the way it is
But that's not your problem
That's not a problem
That's not my problem
That's not your problem
