Broken Notes

if do-re-mi on a C-minor are the ideal tones you wish for

then so be it

for it's as simple as anything to wish for perfection

 

if it takes those 1-and-1 notes to satisfy you

then own up to it

don't waste your voice saying that you're different

 

if you're the type that builds up to a crescendo

or likes the even beat of a 4/4

don't fret

'cause your taste is yours to keep

 

don't change

 

but

if my minor tones upset you

if my octave sways too low

if my tempo is a dynamic 3/4

don't complain either

 

'cause i'm not an off-tune piano that you can fix

or a score that you may compose

you will always hear those broken notes

 

therefore

don't stay

 

what you're searching for isn't here
