As sad as this tale may seem
Let’s hope it’s no more than a dream

There was a girl and her loving beau
For her his everlasting love did show

Life tried to keep them apart
But she fully gave him her heart

Love blossomed full and strong
Though the miles between them were long

Plans of marriage did they make
For each other their hearts did ache

Until one day he said no
I am going to let you go

Why oh why oh why she said
Without you I am better off dead

But he shook his head and did not reply
He tried himself to understand why

He knew not why he left her there
Not certain why he did not care

Knowing without him she could not exist
She took the knife and slit her wrist

And he walked along the lonely road
From his eyes a river of salt flowed

Why did he let it end this way
Without her his world was gray

And knowing that there was no one else
He turned the knife onto himself
