It seems that it was only yesterday
That you we standing next to me
Those times when we did play
Those times when it was you and me
That is only a breath away
I miss you still each night
The way you once held me tight
I miss your big brown eyes
Why did you go and die
Your life was only 17 years
Although i've cried a million tears
I will remember you every day
That you are only a breath away
It wasn't fair the way you left
Your life was taken like a theft
Most people make petty mistakes
But not everyone has their life at stake
It was the worst way you had to pay
To have your breath taken away
I remember holding you
Your body and soul were not one but two
I held you close to me as you lay there still
Then i saw all the pills
Why didn't you tell me to stay
Maybe you would still be here today
