Another song from the rock opera "Alphabetically Yours". This song (the third in the show) sees our protagonist Zach attempting to ultimately figure out why his last relationship ended, so he can move on with his life.

Sometimes, the way we do that -- or even the act itself -- is not always the best course of action. This song proves that almost too well to our hero.

lyrics

[1]
Can’t clear the cobwebs in my mind
Can’t shake the fear I’ve left behind
Something so wonderful that I’ll never get it back
Keep thinking how my love left me
Why won’t these feelings let me be?
Maybe I should talk with her to get my life on track

[Chorus]
I need some closure
To find out just what I‘d done wrong
I need some closure
We hadn’t even dated very long
Can’t we go back to how things were?
When she was with me and I was with her?
Give me some closure
So I can close the book on this

[2]
Call her up? How is this the plan?
Pretty sure we’re on a speaking ban
Maybe I should send a text and see how that works out
No, that’s lame. That’ll never work.
Can’t you see? You’re acting like a jerk!
Better to be thought a fool, than remove all doubt!

[Chorus]
But I need closure
Gonna give her a piece of my mind
I need some closure
Just as soon as I locate my spine
Why’d we break up? I’m not even sure.
‘Cause the way she left me is kind of a blur.
Give me some closure
So I can close the book on this

[Bridge – Spoken]

Hello, Nicole? It’ me, Zach.
(pause)
No, I know. I just…well, I was wondering…
What happened to us? Things seemed to be going great, then
All of a sudden you just…
(pause)
Uh huh. Oh.
(pause)
Oh. Oh really? Well…I see.
Alright, well…that explains a lot, actually.
(pause)
That many times already? No, I don’t think that’s a record, but yes, that is more than we did.
(pause)
No, you can keep that manuscript. They rejected it anyway.
(pause)
I’m very happy that it props up your wobbily table perfectly. Yes, you’re welcome.
(pause)
You too.

[Chorus]
I got my closure!
Even though it didn’t go as planned
I got my closure
I may be dumped but now I understand
That we’ll never go back to how things were
When she was with me and I was with her
‘Cause now she’s with Steve, and Steve’s now with her
And Steve used to be her bosses Chauffer
But Steve’s just a bit of an entrepreneur
So he’s much more able to provide for her
Than some guy who writes sci-fi lit’rature
So now that I fin’ly got my closure
Now I can close the book on this!
