I wanted to tell you...

by Matthew Schut   Feb 18, 2009


Another night of yelling and screaming
It all started out because I was late
I told you that I was really sorry
But you threw away what was on my dinner plate

You told me that you were sick of me coming home
You said that I always make up a reason
But what more do you want me to tell you
That work can get crazy through the summer season

Again, I am walking down the road to cool off
I just can't understand why you get so upset
I'm helping so many people every day
Maybe there is something that I just don't get

Baby, you are all I think about every day at work
You are the person on my mind throughout the day
I just wish you were there to see these people
And see how much happier they are as they walk away

You see, I work my normal 9 to 5 job then I volunteer
I help the homeless out so they can have food
I want to show them that there is hope
And I always make them get into a better mood

Baby, if you only knew how much I love you
If you only knew how much I think of you and just melt
I get tingles whenever I am around you
These feelings I have never before felt

I send you flowers to show you how much I love you
I even attach a little letter to show that I care
I surprise you with breakfast in bed every Saturday
When you sleep, I lay there and just stare

I see how beautiful you truly are and I just smile
A tear always rolls down my cheek by seeing your face
I can't believe that I am married to this angel
I'm so glad we are both together at the same pace

Baby, maybe I should tell you all the little moments
That truly do take my breath away
Maybe I should tell you how much it hurts when we fight
And tell you all the little sweet things that I do not say

Tonight, I was crying because I just wanted to surprise you
I had two dozen roses sitting in the car
I wanted to take you down to the lake
And lay under the sky, staring at our star

But it all went wrong, you got mad at me for being late
I just wish you could see how much you mean to me
I love you with my complete heart and soul
And this is not how I want our lives to be

I need to go back and explain this all to you right now
Tell you that I was going to take you to the lake
And talk about watching you sleep at night
My heart will forever be yours to take

So I turn around to start to head back home
And I notice a bright light coming right at me
I was hit by a drunk driver and you will never know
Because the light is getting dimmer, I'm dying slowly
