Don't you understand that you neevr totally get away with something,
That guilt is hard to live with when your conscience starts to sing.

I know you just wanted to have a little bit of fun,
But you're not the one suffering now with your hands on a gun.

You were the most important thing in my life and you are now too,
But I don't want to live any more without being with you.

When your sister called me adn told me that you had just died,
I lost all feeling in my body and I went into shock and just cried.

The story is that you were drunk and you drove home those 16 blocks,
And you were doing fine until you failed to stop just away by two blocks.

The person who collided with you had been drinking too,
But seeing as how we live in this town nothing seemed new.

Everyone involved in the crash died on impact which some say seemed right,
What caused your death was failure to stop at the red light.

I know you say don't blame the beer,
But I don't drink anymore and when others do I can't help hide the tear.

You were my life and now you are gone, I don't want to live now
So here I am ready to die in my back lawn.

I hope I die quickly and the pain isn't great,
Because I am all ready now, but- just wait.

I remember a few words that you once spoke,
You lectured me about how important I was to you over a bottle of Coke.

You explained that our love would last even if one of us moved on,
And I see that's the truth now since you are gone.

I guess I choose to live because you had your life taken away,
And I want to do waht you told me to do just the other day.

You said that when I feel bad or sad or mad,
To think of the good and to think of you and it will make me feel glad.

I am going to try to live without you and maybe someday I'll see,
That no matter where you are you're always with me.
