He sits in his cell,
lays on his bed.
Covers his head and closes his eyes.
He sees a smoking gun,
And the coward he ran.
And in his arms is the bleeding
Love of his life.
And she cried,
"Kiss it all better,
I'm not ready to go.
It's not your fault, love,
You didn't know, you didn't know."
Her hands are so cold,
And he kisses her face
And says, "Everything will be all right."
He noticed the gun,
And his rage grew inside.
He said, "I'll avenge my lover tonight".
And she cried,
"Kiss it all better,
I'm not ready to go.
It's not your fault love,
You didn't know, you didn't know."
Now he sits behind prison bars,
25 to life and she's not in his arms.
He couldn't bring her back with a bullet to the heart
In the back of a man who tore his world apart.
He holds on to her memory,
All it is, is a memory.
Hey, hey.
He cries,
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Kiss it all better,
I'm not ready to go.
It's not your fault love,
You didn't know, you didn't know.
(Kiss it all better.)
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until i fall asleep,
Stay with me.
(kiss it all better.)
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.

when i first heard this song, i cried. i couldn't stop the tears flowing out of my eyes. my emotions exploded as they mixed with the ones reaking from the song. i cried even when the song was over. i stayed silent for awhile. once the song started, i felt as if i was right there. i was the guy holding the girl in my arms. i felt the rage, the anger but mostly the ache, the pain burning my eyes and heart. my body was on fire lightened by the melody and the realness of the song. i felt the ache of losing someone i held so dearly. i felt the need of revenge. i understood everything he felt right in that moment and the need to revenge his lovers death. and the only thing i was scared of was the realization that i would do the same thing. i felt everything he must have felt. i was right there... i was right there feeling the blood coming from her body wetting my clothes and the warmth and than the coldness of her. i heard her crying as she asked for him to kiss it better. i heard her tears hyting the ground. i imagined myself next to her grave crying my eyes out. i get lost every time i listen this sing. i can't explain how much i love this song. it's a song of raw emotion. and i hope you can feel the intensity of this song while you listen.

Short Story"For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness." - Reba McEntire
