Michael Letra

With a rope around his neck, swinging back and fourth

I guess I should've known it was coming way too soon



It was almost midnight, and I can still remember

Everything that happened, and everything in between

When I read the information that was being presented

I never cried, but even so, the truth can't be denied



The warning signs were all the while staring me down

And here I was, just trying to make sense of it

Every single opportunity that I was ever given

Now cradled in my hands, like broken glass



And that was the day when michael took his life

Through the haze of medication, on a lonely afternoon

With a rope around his neck, swinging back and fourth

I guess I should've known it was coming way too soon



The warning signs were all the while staring me down

And here I was, just trying to make sense of it

Every single opportunity that I was ever given

Now cradled in my hands, like broken glass



I lost my friend, two years ago today

And I wish there could've been some other way

Then maybe I could deal with all this pain

That he left behind for all of us to share



That was the day when michael took his life

Through the haze of medication, on a lonely afternoon

With a rope around his neck, swinging back and fourth

I guess I should've known it was coming way too soon



I guess I should've known it was coming way too soon
