Peyton Manning Retirement: A "Love Song"

To be sung to the tune of Sara Bareilles' "Love Song"...

 

Colts miss the playoffs
And they tell me that Peyton Manning retired
Next season gets harder, even I know that
Made room for a QB, but it's too soon to see
If the Colts are happy in his hands
Hall of Fame quarterbacks are hard to replace

Like Jim Kelly who played
In four straight Super Bowls but
Lost them all, early two decades ago

I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause the Colts suck now
Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
For the Colts next year
I'm not gonna get over it
If Manning is retiring, I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That all great quarterbacks retire
The Colts are gonna have another bad start
Again next season
And it just hurts
The Colts are not what they once were
Hello to this new QB

Convinced me the Colts suck
The Colts start 3-9 next year
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause the Colts suck now
Cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
For the Colts next year
I'm not gonna get over it
If Manning is retiring, I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help the Colts with a new quarterback
Cause I believe there's a way the Colts can still
Make the playoffs

I won't write you a love song
Cause the Colts suck now
Cause you need one you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
Cause the Colts suck now
Cause you need one you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
For the Colts next year
I'm not gonna get over it
If the Colts are nowhere in it
Deep in the playoffs in two years
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
The Colts are gonna
Win the Super Bowl today
