The Night He Died

The night i met you
the moon shone so bright
every star in the sky
twinkled that night

You stole my heart
with just one glance
as you took my hand
and asked me to dance

You held me tight
warm in your embrace
we danced in the rain
my heart began to race

You gently lifted my face
to meet your gaze
then u leaned in & kissed me
i felt my troubles drift away

My friends all told me
that you were bad news
friendship or love?
i felt like i had to choose

They said u were trouble
but i knew
you had been through a lot
what could u do?

My parents sat me down
and in a harsh voice
said i had to let you go
and i had no other choice

They said that you were bad
and would lead me astray
said i was blinded
by the charming things you say

I started to cry
this just couldn't be true
i had to break your heart
and get over you

I told you the next day
you thought it was a lie
you just stood there
and watched me cry

You grabbed my hand
and said those 3words
but i turned away
like i hadn't heard

Goodbye i whispered
tears falling down my face
you got into your car
down the street you raced

It was raining hard that night
the roads were slippery and wet
you were going too fast
trying to forget

I rushed to the scene
sirens flashing, blood everywhere
you laid motionless
it was almost 2 much 2 bear

Someone took me aside
there wasn't a thing they could do
they told me it was time
for me to say goodbye to you

I kneeled on my knees
and stared down at you
you were in so much pain
and i didn't know what to do

You whispered u loved me
i started to cry
i squeezed your hand
and begged you not to die

I'll never forget
those words you said
because every day
they still echo in my head

"I love you so much
but please baby don't cry
its my time to go"
and u wiped a tear from my eye

And with that you closed your eyes
i held you in my arms
but i knew you were dead
and could be caused no more harm

Everyone was staring
gathered in a crowd
my heart was breaking
i screamed aloud

I refused to leave your side
till a cop pulled me away
he looked into my eyes
but there was nothing he could say

It was my fault i sobbed
its my fault you died
people said it wasn't
but i knew it was all lies

I had broken your heart
pushed you over the edge
now I'm so close
to jumping off the ledge

So this is my story
of sadness and despair
i killed my true love
the only person who ever cared
