That girl has gone away,
She never had to stay,
Of course I wanted things my way,
And I know that’s selfish.

They say what a shame,
To see that boy astray,

But really I’m okay,
In my melancholy ways.

All I want to do is sit,
I guess this is how I face it?
I’ll try to sleep through the day,
Can I just wake up in... well, may?

They say what a shame,
To see that boy astray.

The memory of that day,
Well that one seems to stay...

They say why a shame,
To see that boy astray.
But really I’m ok,
In my melancholy ways.

Hope she’s back someday,
Course she never had to say.
If I think there's a way,
I know I can make the next day.

They say what a shame,
To see that boy astray.

But really I’m okay.
In my melancholy way.

My melancholy ways,
My melancholy ways,
