She used to talk to me
About what he done to her
Every time she'd come thru
With a fresh scratch above her lip
Every time she'd come thru
She'd be telling me 'bout them
He'd go through her phonebook
And make calls to her best friends
He got her stressed, huh?
Got her pressed up
Now she on her meds, huh?
So depressed, huh?
I feel so bad
But all I can do watch and pretend, nah
(Chorus)
I tried to be like you, but I was afraid to die
(I was afraid to die, I was afraid to die)
When I seen a picture of you, I wanted your life
Now it's mine
I want you by my side, side, (side)
'Til the day I die
(You know that's right, right)
That's why every night I, night I
Pray to God, God, ('Til the day I die, yeah)
He'll take me next
(Right)
Why does it hurt when I smile? (Right)
My face is sore
I miss the person that I was
She said my eyes don't look like they used to
(Verse)
Every story about him
Used to make me mad, mad
Then I started feeling bad, bad
And a little sad, sad
I couldn't save her, nah, nah
I should've stayed home
If I was there, oh, oh
Would she be gone, gone?
I wish I could just call her
Hear her voice, hold on
I feel so empty
I feel so numb, numb
Why are you gone, gone?
Why are you gone, gone?
