Some of life's most important moments are marked by changes. While some are definitively happy events, some... make the world seem dimmer, humanity more sinister, the future bleaker. Yet we toil and trouble, burn and bubble, onwards to the final act.
And how are we to know if we're in a comedy, a romance or a tragedy? Even when we find out, perhaps the last laugh is on us anyway.
This Ain't A Love Song by Bon Jovi
from album These Days (1995)
I should have seen it coming when the roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good bye
Baby ain't it funny how you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees when you think you're standing tall
But only fools are know-it-alls and I've played that fool for you
I cried and I cried every night
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny
That your love drove me crazy baby
REFRAIN
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Baby I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades some things never change
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby
And now it's so sad that whatever we had
Ain't worth saving oh oh oh
** REFRAIN **
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason that I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
I cried and I cried every night
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny it that
Your love drove me crazy
** REFRAIN **
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
oh oh oh no no
