| I Want To Tell You Lies |
I want to tell that little boy, his mom will be just fine. I want to tell that dad, we got to his daughter out in time. I want to tell that wife, her husband will be home tonight. I don't want to tell it like it is...... I want to tell them lies. You didn't put their seat belts on, you feel you killed your kids. I want to say you didn't...but in a way you did. You pound your fists into my cheast, you'r hurting so inside. I want to say you'll be ok.... I want to tell you lies. You left chemicals within his reach and now it's in his eyes. I want to say your son will se, not tell you he'll be blind. You ask me if he'll be ok, with pleading in your eyes. I want to say that yes he will.... I want to tell you lies. I can see your crying as your life goes up in smoke. If you had maintained that smoke alarm, your children may have woke. Don't grab my arm and ask me if your family is alive. Don't make me tell you their all dead.... I want to tell you lies. I want to say she'll be ok,you didn't take her life. I heard you say you love her and you'd never hurt your wife. You thought you didn't drink to much, you thought that you could drive. I don't want to say how wrong you were.... I want to tell you lies. You only left her for a moment, it happens all the time. How could she have fell from there? You thought she couldn't climb. I want to say her neck's not broke, that she will be just fine. i don't want to say she's paralyzed....... I want to tell you lies. I want to tell his tean buddies he didn't die in vain Because he thought that it'd be cool to try to beat the train. I don't want to tell them this will haunt them all their life. I want to say that they'll forget..... I want to tell them lies. You left the cabinet open and your daughter found the gun. Now you want me to undo the damage that's been done. You tell me she's your only child, you say she's only five. I don't want to say she won't see six.... I want to tell you lies. He fell into the pool you just went to grab the phone. It was only for a second that you left him alone. If you let the phone ring perhaps your boy would be alive. But I don't want to tell you that...... I want to tell you lies. The fact that you were speeding caused your car to overturn. And we couldn't get him out of there before the whole thing burned. Did they suffer? Yes, they suffered as they slowly burned alive. But I don't want to tell you this. I want to tell you lies. But i have to tell it like it is until my shift is through. And then the real lies begin, when I come home to you. You ask me how my day was, and I say it was just fine. I hope you understand sometimes..... I have to tell you lies. This is dedicated to all The firefighters,police officers,E.M.T.'s,Paramedics,Emergency Flight crews,and all civil cervents who deal with the tragity of death. - unknown |
