You were my best mate
My only one, but the best
We were little chicks,
While the tunnels was our nest
We drew on the walls
And read on the floor
And ran in the street
And read some more
I taught you how to read
You taught to me how to shove
I taught you how to break into houses
You taught me how to love
Yes, we were four
And I only knew you for a while
8 months were they?
We were too juvenile
I treasure your memories
There all I have left of you
Those golden moments we shared
I wish you could do that too
It's all my fault
I hope you can forgive me
But I don't get a second chance
Cuz your gone now you see
It started by you sneaking out
To meet up at mine
Your aunts boyfriend spotted you
And turned into Frankenstein
I told them it was him
And everyone knew
How can the police be so stupid?
They didn't believe what was true
We have to find evidence
The ugly man would growl
I looked at him in disbelief
As if I just saw a tree howl
Evidence my butt! I screamed
He was demented for sure
And when they missed all the proof
It shocked me to my core
You went into a coma
For countless days asleep
Your body needed to... 'Heal'
So you couldn't move a peep
I waited in the tunnels for you
As I watched the sand congeal
But you didn't make it
Your body didn't heal
And all that,
Because I told you to come to mine
But all it has done
Was mess with your lifeline
You were too young As they would say
You were Too young to die
Well I can point something out
They didn't lie
I wouldn't have mourned your death
Because your life was so happy and true
Maybe I would have done that
If they had even buried you.
