A song before I go A song to let you know The love you gave to me Is the love that set me free From the voices screaming softly in my head And now I hear your voice instead Don't look back in anger Don't look down in shame Release the past and hang a Light inside that blinds the pain And though it's over now, I wish I'd told you then I would do it all again The memory lingers on Of good times come and gone The man you saw in me Is the man I tried to be But the voices, they got louder in my head And drowned out every word you said Don't look back in anger Don't look down in shame Release the past and hang a Light inside that blinds the pain And though it's over now, I wish I'd told you then I would do it all again There is a darkness living deep inside my soul A rage within me that my mind cannot control And I deserve whatever vengeance comes from up above For all the hate that makes me hurt the ones I love The newsmen babble on Another angel gone Cut down in her prime Long before her time The only kindness ever shown The only good I've ever known Gone and I can't understand Destroyed by my own hand So I look back in anger And I look down in shame I curse the past that left me lost and blinded by the pain I wish that I could bring you back, but I know even then And if I had a thousand chances I know even then I knew the day they came and locked me up that even then I would do it all again
