Nice to talk

I know your face.
I know what you did
so I feel I know you - but I don't!
You sang 
sold a few records
sang with that other bloke - what's his name?
The girls really loved you - even though you didn't love them!
You made a few mistakes - who hasn't!
We could call you a flawed genius.
You put your heart into your songs
and your singing
but your heart gave out - and here we are
chatting away at the cemetery.
I wasn't looking for you - we just met quite by chance.
But it was nice to talk!
