I knew

I felt a tear roll down my face

Turned up the heat to fill the empty space

I got under the blankets and tried to sleep

But it was impossible, all I wanted to do was weep

When darkness finally came, my dreams were littered with you

Memories, thoughts, desires and plans but who knew

Who knew that you were depressed

Who knew it felt like the weight of the world was on top of your chest.

Who knew you'd go home and take a hand full of pills

Who knew that that many kills

Who knew no one would come in time to save you

Who knew

So then I was stuck in that world all alone

Left constantly calling your phone

But then I said to myself I know

I know one day we'll be together

I know that one day no one would be able to separate us ever

I know all it will take is for my heart to stop beating

I know then my soul will leave my body fleeting

So I took one more gulp of water

My mouth full of pills that made my throat burn hotter

My vision got blurry, my mind became blank

My legs wobbled and suddenly I sank

And now here I am with you

We'll be together forever in this separate world of ours because I knew.
