GAME OVER

I once knew a guy
who's smile could brighten up your day
he was a troubled child
but said he'd be OK

foolishly i believed him
while the light on his life grew dim

the phone rang one night
a whisper said goodbye
i thought nothing of it
now i am left to cry

i heard the next morning
what you had done
you had fought a battle
and the battle had won

i went to the hospital
to see your mistake
can't you seen your gone
part of me you take

i went to your funeral
to say my goodbye
i was handed a letter
the envelope said sorry but i had to die

i opened the letter
and inside it read
if you are reading this babes
then i must be dead

looking at the razor blade
then staring at the scars I've made

glancing at the kitchen knife
trying to decide death or life

even though i promised you not to do this anymore
no one ever knew what when on behind my locked door

I'm sorry but i just can't stop with every cut it's getting deeper
my skin goes white and pale
my bodies getting weaker

every slip upon my wrist
pathetically perfect twisted bliss

this heals something you will never understand
please don't pretend you do
don't offer me your helping hand

don't shake your head at each scar
don't say one day I'll go to far

but maybe on day if i do
honey i promise to watch over you

I'll look down at you in a happy life
and smile because you will never have
all this pain and strife

i say i am OK
that i will be alright
but i am not gonna lie
not this time not tonight

this releases my pain
there is no shame
i must be insane
to keep playing this game

it is now time for my life to reach it's end
but know when i died
you were in my heart as my one true friend

this is my letter to say goodbye
know that i love you and please don't you cry
i now am finally free
this is the way it needed to be

when i am buried in the ground
please still talk to me
I'll still be around

i am watching you in your happy life
and smiling because there is no pain or strife

know you were the one who helped me along
even if you were just singing our favorite song

i always told you I'd be alright
now i am
i finally lost the fight

but for you i will never truly be gone
you were the one who kept me strong

and when you look upon my grave
written in stone
"the one who could not be saved"

he signed it "i love you forever"
but on the page there was blood
written in the corner there were two little words
"GAME OVER"
