Sad but true

by The Black Rose   Nov 8, 2006


Life is so precious
but you spilled it like water
you killed yourself
and we don't know why
it's so sad
sad but true

we want to know why
but you can't tell us
you've left us alone
why you did it is a story
a story so sad
sad but true

the story begins
three years ago
you started drugs
and alcohol
you got problems
problems so sad
sad but true

the problems started fast
when you needed money
or just some drugs
drugs to make you feel good
and you started cutting
it's just so sad
sad but true

you cutted through your problems
and your skin and vanes
you bled dry
and died of sorrow
sorrow from the problems
problems so sad
sad but true

we never supported you
and we were worried
worried about you
you've been in an institute
but it didn't work
you failed to cure
so sad
sad but true

we were wrong
we should have helped you
but we didn't
you looked for help
and we refused
we should be dead
we and not you
so damn sad
sad but true

now you're dead
and we cry
cry because of the bastards we are
and because of the mistakes
the mistakes we made
we're sorry for you
we're so sad
sad but true
