i lay in bed thinking of the next time i'll see you
i take walks in the dark hoping you'll jump out from behind a tree to scare me
when i'm taking a shower i keep the lights off and the cold water flowing
every morning i sit in the dark till the light shines in
every meal my parents force me to eat actually ends up on the floor and eaten by the dog
i never told you any of these things because i couldn't
i couldn't believe you were gone
you were a part of me
you were taken away by a stupid gun
i never told you these things because you're dead and i'm just hoping it's all fake
someday i'll wake up from this terrible nightmare and you'll still be here
and i still won't have to tell you these things.
