The Diary of Living LyricsLyrics From YouTube Livestream
[Verse 1: Adam Melchor]
Amelia is always reading books with sweet quotations
Tryna find a glimpse of light, a source of inspiration
She scribbles on a Post-it note a new-found, one-line anecdote
Sticks them to a fridge for motivation
[Chorus: Adam Melchor]
It appears to me that empathy is the gift that keeps on giving
She wrote it in the diary of living
[Verse 2: Adam Melchor]
Amelia and John got married in the early sixties
Back then, she was all he loved before he found the whisky
"In sickness and in health", she said
The fine print, shе had never read
Thе person who you fell for might go missing
[Chorus: Adam Melchor]
A lover is an enemy you choose to keep forgiving
She wrote it in the diary of living
[Bridge: Adam Melchor]
Let the choirs of fallen angels sing their hallelujahs
Let the devil on your shoulder try their best to fool ya
'Cause there are pieces missing
In the diary of living
[Verse 3: Adam Melchor]
Amelia is paying for her daughter's education
Strokes her hair and says goodbye and drops her at the station
There's so much she wants to say before her baby goes away
She'll save it for another conversation
[Chorus: Adam Melchor]
You can only learn the lessons you are ready to be given
She wrote it in the diary of living
[Outro: Adam Melchor]
Let the choirs of fallen angels sing their hallelujahs
Let the devil on your shoulder try their best to fool ya
'Cause there are pages missing
In the diary of living
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ahh, ahh
Ahh-ahh, ah-ahh, ahh-ahh, ahh
