Lyrics / Sweet Melancholy

Ask and you shall get
That’s what they say
But unfortunately
Life doesn’t always work that way

And at times I feel like there’s another side of me
Looking out
From behind these hazel eyes

Flirting in a non-threatening mode
To reveal herself

And give way

Oh, Sweet Melancholy

You so un-seeming
And yet when you creep in
And bolt the door
There’s no where for me to go

Stuck in this quiet misery
So numb and unfeeling
Like a guest that insists on staying

And I just want you out

Ask and you shall get
That’s what they say
But unfortunately
Life doesn’t always work that way

So you stay
Polluting my hopes and dreams
And make me forget how to be happy

And I compromise a big part of me
As I give in
To sweet melancholy

And it ain’t right
It’s not right
And it’s not fair

I’m an angry landlord
And you’re just a miserable renter
So I’m revoking the keys to this body

So get out
Get out of the this house
And disappear.

wow, very deep. You seem to be very in touch with the emotional side of poetry. The poem itself is gorgeous.

I believe my favorite part is the
“I’m an angry landlord
And you’re just a miserable renter
So I’m revoking the keys to this body

So get out
Get out of the this house
And disappear.”

over all, very nice!
