Lullaby

Singing his suicide note as a lullaby
They say sleep is the cousin of death
I can meet him in my dreams to say goodbye
After all he thought of me in his last breath
Singing myself to sleep
With his suicide note
As a lullaby
My grieving lullaby
It made me cry

It was addressed to me
His suicide note
And in that final
Last moment he wrote
Im sorry honey
Im sorry baby
I cant go on
Living so now maybe
I can erase the trouble I caused
Then maybe my case
Wont be so lost

Now Im tossing and turning
Reading it but not learning
Why he did it
I wanna know why he did it

Singing his suicide note as a lullaby
They say sleep is the cousin of death
I can meet him in my dreams to say goodbye
After all he thought of me in his last breath
Singing myself to sleep
With his suicide note
As a lullaby
My grieving lullaby
It made me cry

He continued
To try to explain
He felt guilty
That he had caused me pain
If only he knew
That I had deserved it
Cos you can only be hurt
If the guy is worth it
And he was and I canâ??t believe
What he has done
I never told him that I thought
He was the one

Now Im tossing and turning
Reading it but not learning
Why he did it-
I wanna know why he did it

Singing his suicide note as a lullaby
They say sleep is the cousin of death
I can meet him in my dreams to say goodbye
After all he thought of me in his last breath
Singing myself to sleep
With his suicide note
As a lullaby
My grieving lullaby
It made me cry

Im trying to understand it
And I look at the letter again
There in small print at the bottom is written
Saturday, half past ten
I went to the spot
Where theyll put his body
Written in stones
On the ground
Was SORRY
And I turned around
Felt him take my hand
As I began to
Understand
He said I couldnt leave
Not without you
And that moment
My prayer came true

Now hes living
And knows how I feel
And knows that the
Possibility is real
It wasnt his time
Not his time today
And every night
I sing his lullaby

His suicide note
Lullaby
