Take comfort

To think I showed such promise, such potential as a lover
but I guess I had my hands full with myself without another
to occupy my fancies to take food amongst the words ??
hell I should've known I'd never come up with the goods ??

I never could

I will laugh and I won't cry
and I'll take comfort in 'that someday I shall die'

I've said and I've done things in my time that'd make you shiver
I've spent time with wistful eyes just staring at the river
in the end I couldn't even find the words you wanted me to say
in her heart she knows she never knew me anyway

what can I say?

I will laugh and I won't cry
and I'll take comfort in 'that someday I shall die'

I will laugh and I won't cry
and I'll take comfort in 'that someday I shall die'

Take for instance if you will a person you don't care for
Not someone you hate just someone you'd turn off the phone for
Spare a thought for them because no matter how much they whine and they moan
There's not a bad thing you can say about them they've not said when they're alone

Pick up the phone

I will laugh and I won't cry
and I'll take comfort in 'that someday I shall die'
I will laugh and I won't cry
and I'll take comfort in 'that someday I shall die'
