The Shot

You always said you loved me
But then you went away
You told me I was a screw up
And then had nothing more to say

I sat alone with a gun to my head
I thought about how it was all true
I don't deserve to be here
Dying is all I have left to do

I had to talk to someone
I knew who it had to be
He has always been there
He's the only one who's seen

I told him I was leaving
And he thought I meant him
I told him that's not what I meant
I explained that I should have never been

I cried all my forgotten tears
I let all my walls fall down
I was as low as I could possibly be
Yet he still picked me up off the ground

He said I couldn't leave
That I was his only friend
I am worth the whole world
And my life doesn't need to end

As I remember he cried his first tears
I told him my heart was always his to keep
He finally layed his weary head down
And drifted off to sleep

I quietly snuck out the back door
I left it open so I wouldn't get caught
He never knew what was coming his way
He never even heard the gun shot...
