Good-Bye Love

Suicide of a love...
You told me you were okay.
You said you'd never do it.
I guess I shouldn't
have trusted you that day

I should have taken
all your knives
so you couldn't bleed.

I should have taken
all your guns
so you wouldn't have pulled the trigger.

You told me that you loved me
You said you wanted to marry
I guess you weren't that strong.

I should have shown
my love more
So you wouldn't
have made that choice

I should have shown
my anger more
So you would have
taken me seriously.

You told me that you’re leaving
You said you had to go
I guess that was your way
of saying
good-bye, I love you so.
