It’s Never All Right

lyrics

It might diminish what I feel
But it won’t change what is real
When they say it’s alright
It’s never all right

so sorry
my dear sweet boy
so sorry

I might be playing that same old song
An open major seventh sing-along
Another second hand rhyme to keep the first step in line
To a place where I can fix the wrongs

There’s nothing left to do or to be said
When the deepest of your love is dead
All of those sympathy lines intent on easing my mind
Will never justify the life I’ve led

It might diminish what I feel
But it won’t change what is real
When they say it’s alright
It’s never all right

so sorry
my dear sweet boy
so sorry

Like a diamond in the lost and found
Not sure it ended up where it belonged
Can’t build a record that wants to play
Scratching the surface to face the day

It might diminish what I feel
But it won’t change what is real
When they say it’s alright
It’s never all right
