Tell mom and dad I'm sorry For everything this has to be Because this time I'm not coming back I'm as empty as this bottle So fill me up with sorrow Keep a memory of me Bring it with you in your dreams Remember the time we lost our shoes Walked home barefoot nothing to lose You needed me I was right here I won't be there so don't shed a tear Twenty years went by so fast I'm running out of faith But you knew I wouldn't last so I Stare at a Flower to watch it grow My heart turns black and cold as snow Tried to hold on to let it go So let me go I'm black and white but you're just gray I'm wasting time you're wasting away I can't stand what's happening to you You're just a shade imitating blue I wish I could find the words Then you would never have to hurt I try to tell you what you're worth Can't see the good you feel the worse I hope you can make it through this Then maybe one day find that bliss Heavy thoughts lead to broken necks And the weight of the world is on your back Stare at a Flower to watch it grow My heart turns black and cold as snow Tried to hold on to let it go So let me go I know you're looking for safety But lately you can't save me My only enemy Is in the mirror looking straight back at me I wish you would understand I'm just the dust lost in the sand The rope you tossed slipped through my hands And I'm too far down to come up again Stare at a Flower to watch it grow My heart turns black and cold as snow Tried to hold on to let it go So let me go Stare at the sun till it burns out Don't understand what this is about We'll watch the stars fall from the sky You waste away but just get by
