I swear I saw her last night

I thought she was fine

I swear I saw her last night.

She told me she was fine.

She was at the store

Looking for some food to eat

I should’ve walked her home

I should’ve made sure she was ok

/i tie the knot/

But I didn’t know

No one knew

The struggles she was going through

Now her voice whispers in my ear

My house has become haunted

I hear every creek

And sound

/stepping on the chair/

I can hear my breathe so loud

I could’ve saved her

But I didn’t know

Now she’s gone

Her heart doesn’t beat

Oxygen doesn’t run through her body

/it scratches against my throat/

I still hear her

I see her at the corner of my eye

Is it my fault?

Is it my fault I couldn’t save you?

/i kick the chair/

Im sorry

Im so sorry

I should’ve done better

You were a good friend

You were always there for me and everyone

/it hurts/

You always had a smile on your face

So why’d you leave?

You could’ve asked for help

We all would’ve helped you

/i smile/

But now everyone blames me

Says it’s my fault I didn’t save you

Your parents want me around anymore

Im sorry

At least I’ll be able to see you again

/my feet hang still/
