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'
