Mark Andrews

Here goes the story of a kid we thought we knew

He hid a hate inside and had a state of mind

That put him in his grave

It began with his friends

They never noticed the despair in his eyes

From the pressure

His life was etched in stone

Before he made a choice of his own



And hes dedicated

For everyday that hes made it on his own

In his fathers eyes hes a pair of dice

He wont be number one

He cant be number one



So he tries to comply

With everything theyve ever asked

And his life is stitched with one-way tickets

To places he dont want to visit

He says Im never gonna be perfect

Maybe I dont deserve his trust

but Im doing the best I can

Ive never dealt with such pressure

Feels like my whole lifes etched in stone

Before Ive made a choice of my own



So save your breath cause youll

need it when you hang from a rope

Cause of death:

Obvious from your suicide note

The last words that filled the page:

if no one will listen than no one

will miss me when Im gone

Across town his dad falls asleep all alone

Never knowing he was never going to come home

The last thoughts that filled his head

Ill tell him Im sorry Ill

say I regret what I did

Its your life

Ill live my own life instead



His bedrooms filled with emptiness tonight

As the silence cuts through like a knife

Knowing hes not there

I wanna take you to the places I go

Instead of writing home on the open road alone



And when I'm gone for a week

I promise you I won't give you the chance

To get lonely

And when I'm away, I will think of things that you told me

And it's always worth it when I get home



She told me I'm useless

You helped me get better

Put the pieces of me back together

So thanks for being the one who makes me feel like acting myself

I hope it makes you glad that you don't make me want to be with someone else



I found what I'm looking for

I found what I'm looking for



Without you

I fall to pieces

And there's nothing I can do

And even with my piece of mind

I know with you I'll be just fine

But I still fall to pieces without you



I want to watch you chase your hopes and dreams

I want to chase you everywhere it seems

I want to be the only one who knows your story

So tell me where we're meeting

And when the first train's leaving

I'm gonna take you away from

I swear I'll take you away from here



I found what I'm looking for

I found what I'm looking for



Without you

I fall to pieces

And there's nothing I can do

And even with my piece of mind

I know with you I'll be just fine

But I still fall to pieces without you



This distance tears me apart

God, I need to see you

So when the homesickness starts

And you're missing me too

I'm gone too long

But when you're here it's worth it

So just hold



Without you

I fall to pieces

And there's nothing I can do

And even with my piece of mind

I know with you I'll be just fine

But I still fall to pieces without you
