This Was Bigger

They say I'm not right,

They say something's wrong.

But this death, they're trying to prolong.

 

If they knew what happened that night,

Or perhaps if I could give them some insight,

Then this wouldn't be happening,

And I wouldn't be fading.

 

They blame it on what has happened, long ago.

But this is from abuse, as you know.

 

So why wait?

It's already too late.

 

Load my gun, pull the trigger,

Maybe you'll understand this was bigger,

Than just a failed relationship.
