I breathed 16 years of life
Yet began to live
From the day I met you.
You made me
Wear a smile all day,
You made me
Keep grief at bay,
You made me
Watch what I say,
And yet made me
Live life my way.
You made me
Chase what I love,
You made me
Heaven above,
You made me
Forget the past
You made me
Make moments last.
You made me
A happy man
You made me
Get a fuckin' tan*
(*Hadn't thought that'd ever be
But it did, cuz you made me)
You made me
Keep things in place
You made me
Tie my shoelace,
You made me
A new shirt buy,
You made me
On nothing high.
You made me
Achieve my goal
Oh, made me
Healthy and whole,
You made me
Whatever I am
You made me
A happy Sam.
A turn
A skid
A crash.
I could do nothing.
Wrapped in red, covered in red
You lie still on the hospital bed
My eyes are red, my heart is red
Can't bear the rage beneath my head
"I'll ever love you, I'll never leave you"
To me on the wedding day you said
And I know you'll get up now and here
Even if the doctor says you're...
You're....
