lyrics

What are you looking for? Would you please pick a door; 1, 2, or 3?
I'll help you find it if you like, but I can only help to the best of my ability
It's like you were flying a kite, but now you can't keep it off the ground to save your life
It's like everybody is drowning, but only in your eyes

So wake up from your horrible nightmare and run a brush through your beautiful grey hair
Get ready to face the day, mentally prepare in your own personal way
Your mind: Such a beautiful find... How I hate to see it being lost when fear makes you blind
It's like you can't even remember how you used to be so kind

But everyone else does
You act like we're killing you
You're acting so crazy
I hope you don't think that I don't love you
I hate to see you go
I just thought that you should know

There are so many questions that I don't think that I could ever ask you
Before the worst happens
This may be a test I'm not sure that I want to pass
With this, how can you quietly sit?
How many cigarettes did you smoke before you quit?
You sip on Heaven 'til no more can pass your lips

But I still love you so much, I dread the day I can no longer feel your touch
Sometimes life isn't fun, but if you wallow alone, then you've got nowhere to run
Or hide. You know I've been crying.
I don't know what I'm gonna do on the day you die
I guess I'll think of all of my lies and I'll cry and cry and cry

But you'll never leave my heart, I know you'll always be with me
I know I'll never be alone, but oh my god, I'll be so lonely
I hate to see you go
I just thought that you should know
