without you i'd die...
the night was dreary as the rain came down
she said lets go for a ride away from town
all thru the ride she had nothing to say
it was almost as if something stood in her way
then suddenly it came out of the blue
my parents said i have to break up with you
i'm sorry she said i cant pretend
my parents said our love must end
she took off his ring as tears came from his eyes
at the same time the fear of loosing her began to rise
with tears threating to fall he held them back
as he unconsciously parked his car on the rail road track
he wrote something down on a piece of paper
he held her hand and said read it later
he always wished they would never part
he said in a sad voice you just broke my heart
she opened the door and walked into the rain
thats when she saw the lights of the train
realizing to late what she had sighted
with a blink of an eye metal collided
all she could remember was blood running red
and someone saying im sorry hes dead
the ambulance sounded like an agony cry
then she read the piece of paper and it said
without you i'd die...

getting high meant swinging at the playground
the worst thing you could get from boys was cooties
mom was your hero and dad was the boy you were going to marry
your worst enemies were your siblings
race issues were who ran the fastest
war was a card game
life was simple and care free
but what i remember the most was wanting to grow up....
