8ballMy Magic 8 Ball – lyrics

(v1)
Now that you are gone
I put my lens cap on
My future’s so unclear
A week, a month, five years
I can’t bear to see
Anything ahead of me
My eyes are full of tears
From facing my darkest fears
(chorus)
Even my Magic 8 Ball
Can’t tell me what to do
Even my Magic 8 Ball
Feels lonely without you
Even my Magic 8 Ball
Can’t see beyond today
Just me and my Magic 8 Ball
Since you went away

(v2)
Oh fortune telling sphere
You know what I need to hear
Will there ever be a day
When the pain will go away?
Is there a way to hold on tight?
And make it through the night?
And face tomorrow too
Can you tell me what to do?

(chorus)
Even my Magic 8 Ball
Can’t tell me what to do
Even my Magic 8 Ball
Feels lonely without you
Even my Magic 8 Ball
Can’t see beyond today
Just me and my Magic 8 Ball
Since you went away

(bridge)
Don’t let me down
Don’t make me “ask again later”
Instead of “I better not tell you now”
Just do me this one favor
I’ve already asked you twice
I’m desperate for your advice
I thought you understood
I’m tired of, “Outlook not so good”

(chorus)
Even my Magic 8 Ball
can’t tell me what to do
Even my Magic 8 Ball
feels lonely without you
Even my Magic 8 Ball
can’t see beyond today
It’s just me and my Magic 8 Ball
since you went away
