Too young to lay my head down
Pretend that all is well
I see my life before my eyes
Now there is no time left to tell.

I should not have been selfish
Nor should I have gotten mad
I'm sorry that I walked away
From the last chance we ever had

I knew of the chance I was taking
When I left you there that night
Now before my very eyes
Lays the truth beneath my sight.

You're beat and you're battered
Cut all over the place
Blood fills the shirt you wear
From the beating of your face.

Beneath you lies the picture
Where our lives were all we knew
Now the life I loved so much
Is gone, what will I do?

The tears I shed are like acid
They burn right through my skin
There will never be another time
To go back and do it again.

Regret and pure torture
For the rest of my life
I will wake up every day
Feeling no less than pain and strife.

My life will be empty and sad
As I journey away without you
"God won't you take my life"
For I know not what else I can do.

Placing my body into the water
My face falls under, not able to breath
Now I will have no more pain
No more reason to wake up and grieve.

I'm off to start my journey
Not as beautiful a journey as thee
But for reasons no one will ever understand
Beauty I deserve not to see.
