I know you're not here to answer
I know you're not here to hear.
You passed out late one night
after drinking too much alcohol.
Your eyes never open again.
I can't help but think it's my fault
I should have told your parents
There had to have been some way
something I could have done
to stop this
To stop the endless pain everyone's in
Why couldn't you have stopped?
I tried warning you
but you just wouldn't listen
I told you it was addictive
I told you it was deadly
but you just didn't care
Nothing would happen to you
You'd be just fine
But you were wrong
And now you're gone
Leaving me in this pit of misery
Leaving us all
You said you'd always be there
But you were wrong
What happens now?
Now that you're gone
Why couldn't you have listened
maybe just once?
If you did
maybe you'd still be here
But you're not.
I woke up one morning
And you'd left
I'd promised myself I'd never cry over you
I lied.
It's too late now,
It'll be awhile
before I see you again
I hope you understand now
why I sometimes nagged
And how when you left
I cried.
But I know you're not here to answer
I know you're not here to hear.
