A night in your Arms

Thoughts of Death

Take over my mind.

If only the pain would leave,

If only I had been better.

I could have saved him.

I could have!

 

It's all my fault.

The Jump,

The Downward Plunge,

The Bloody Landing.

If he hadn't...

If I hadn't...

 

His note explained it all.

And it wasn't like you didn't warn me.

You said you would,

But I didn't listen.

If I was there with you...

If I was there for you...

 

I could have stopped it all.

You said you loved me.

I loved you too

But the pain from your fist

Drove me to leave you alone

And drove me to leave you...

 

One year later

You asked me to come back

But I remembered how you were

And I said no.

You said that if I said no,

You would do it.

 

Now you've done it,

And it's all my fault.

And now I've decided to go back to you

And took my own plunge

And then when I land

I'll be in your arms.
