Please Don't Say Goodbye
Location
Little brother walks in the room to say good-night
What he doesn’t know is that this is the last time
When he comes to wake you up,
He thinks you’re just asleep
Then suddenly he realizes
That he can’t hear you breathe
Calls for Mom and Dad,
Says that something’s wrong.
He thinks you might need help,
Doesn’t know that you’re gone.
Dad comes running up the stairs to make sure you’re alright,
When he realizes what you did,
That big, strong man breaks down and cries.
Your mama blames herself,
says she should've been there
You thought there was nobody who cared
She would've stayed with you all night
Begging you "Please don't say good-bye"
The school finds out the next day,
Tells your classmates over the P.A.
There’s a moment of silence,
Everyone’s in shock,
Then the first person cries,
Soon tears are falling from everyone’s eyes
Your best friend blames himself,
says he should've been there
You thought there was nobody who cared
He would've stayed with you all night
Begging you "Please don't say good-bye"
Fast-forward 5 years,
It’s almost worse after all this time
Mom watches your video every night
Cause it’s your final goodbye.
Dad’s lost in his work, trying to keep you off his mind,
Because he just can’t believe you died.
And your brother, he’s followed down your path
He cuts his arms and dresses in black
He thinks about you every night
Still can’t sleep without the light.
I blame myself,
I should've been there
He thought there was nobody who cared
He'll never see another blue sky,
So for the rest of you,
I'm begging you
"Please don't say good-bye"
Those of you thinking about hurting yourself or committing suicide, put down the gun, knife, rope, pills, and go talk to someone who loves you, because there is someone who loves you, no matter what you think. Please don’t do this. It hurts those around you more than you could ever know.
