Suicide
Life slowly slipped away
Stealing into the night
I didn’t know what to do
I didn’t know how to make it right
I’m sorry if I hurt you
I’m sorry if I made you cry
I’m sorry if you hurt because of me
But I just had to go; leave forever and say goodbye
I know you’ll wonder if you could have stopped me
If there was something you could have said or done
Don’t worry; there wasn’t –
You made life easier from day one.
Thanks for everything you’ve done for me
Thanks for helping me out
Everything seemed easier when you were around
You cleared away all my doubt
But now I know I have to do this
I know I have to at least try
I don’t deserve to live on this planet
I don’t deserve to be able to make everyone cry
Things will be better now
For both you and me
All you’ll have to do is wait a while
Hopefully then you’ll understand and see.
There’s only one thing I have left to ask
A plea from me to you
Don’t ever do what I have done
Don’t ever follow in my shoes.
