This wasn't supposed to happen.
It was never meant to be.
The death that took place tonight
Was meant to be me.
When I climbed to the rooftop
With intent to take my life,
You were never meant to be there
To try and save my life.
When I flew to the corners
To leap far from the edge,
To crash down to the pavement
And take my final pledge,
You were never meant to stop me
And pull me back from death,
To prevent what I started,
Prolong my final breath.
You were never meant to jump out
And fly far from the roof,
Never meant to save me
And yet be so aloof.
So when you left me living
And meet your final end,
You took my place in darkness
And met my good old friend.
