Holding Back My Death (Song)

by Kimberly Day   Aug 21, 2004


I feel like I've failed you.
I know the consequences of what I'm about to do.
I lock the door,
I close the blinds.
I sit on the floor,
And I close my eyes.

Chorus:
I opened my heart,
You came inside,
My darling, no, you didn't tear it apart.
I just have no more tears to cry.
All that's left for me is suicide.
I'll leave you forever today.
I'm holding my last breath,
I'm holding back my death.
I just have one thing left to say,
I love you my darling,
In each other's hearts,
We'll always stay.

I open my eyes,
Tears running down my face.
I know you hate it when I cry.
I reach for the blade,
The life in my eyes,
Has already begun to fade.

Chorus

I put the blade to my wrist,
I make the deep slice.
I see the blood start to come,
I quickly slice the other one.
The blood runs down my arms,
And drops into puddles on the floor.
In that moment,
I hear you,
Unlock and open the front door.

Chorus

You open the bedroom door,
I close my eyes as you scream my name.
You hurry to apply the pressure,
But I've already chosen my fate,
We both know it's too late.
I look into your scared and helpless eyes.
I see the tears start to fall.
I say, Please don't cry it's okay.
Why is all you ask.
I then say..

Chorus

You see I'm fading fast,
You don't know how much longer I can last.
You tell me you love me,
And you don't want me to die.
I smile softly and gently touch your wet face.
You kiss me over and over,
Not wanting to let me go.
But my life's blood hasn't slowed.
I breathe in my last breath,
I look into your sad, beautiful eyes.
I say,
I love you with everything I am,
And I'm sorry that I have hurt you so.
And then I'm gone.
I couldn't hold back my death forever.
I'll wait for you,
Until we can once again be together.

Chorus 2x's.
End
