The warning signs were all there Was I too blind? Or Too stubborn to see them? Last night while I kissed a boy You bought a gallon of gasoline Last night I was lifting weights You doused the inside of your car Last night I jumped in the pool You sat in your car and held a lighter While I held my breath You released yours While my body froze in the icy waters You were ready to light yours on fire When I got the call I felt my heart fall The flame didn’t ignite Your heart is still beating You are alive.

My Brothers Suicide Attempt
The warning signs were all there Was I too blind? Or Too stubborn to see them? Last night while I kissed a boy You bought a gallon of gasoline Last night I was lifting weights You doused the inside of your car Last night I jumped in the pool You sat in your car and held a lighter While I held my breath You released yours While my body froze in the icy waters You were ready to light yours on fire When I got the call I felt my heart fall The flame didn’t ignite Your heart is still beating You are alive.
