lyrics

when we got the news, you wept
and i sat on the porch with a cigarette
holding my breath until i found the words to say

and when it was through, you said
you wouldn't be mad if i left
but i don't ever want to hear you speak that way

i had to be strong enough
to carry the weight for both of us
and I swore to you i'd never been so sure

it wouldn't be long before
the world crashed through your door
and i don't wanna hear your mom cry anymore

and what am i saying this for?

i wasn't upset with you
i just needed time to to think it through
if i could get my head on straight, i'd be okay

i'll never forget the mood
when we hooked you up in your living room
and all the drugs you took could barely hide your pain

the things that they said were true
incontinent pain that followed through
all of the poison that they pumped into your veins

you had to be fed with spoons
and it took all my strength just to look at you
it was a daily war to watch you waste away

i've never been so afraid

your absence of breath had left
a fissure that grew in my chest
and it slowly worked it's way into my head

i couldn't accept your death
or the letter you left by the side of my bed
and my body shook with every word i read

you said "don't be sad, at all. you have to stay strong and there was pain, but that's all gone. i know what you think- but you're wrong. the world will just spin on, so hold your head up high and keep me in your thoughts. i'll never forget the way you made me feel so safe
and now i know that i will be with you someday.. you're going to be OKAY"
