Before Her Heart Stopped Beating

Before her heart stops beating Before it's too late She has things to say Things that just can't wait This pain she's lived with Has made her push people away She thought she wasn't worth it So they weren't allowed to stay But before her heart stops beating Before it's too late She has things she must say Things that can no longer wait To her parents, She's sorry she couldn't hold on As she lays there while Her lasts breaths are being drawn To her family, Everyone who showed her love She's sorry she couldn't stay She had too many things she couldn't get rid of To her friends, She's sorry, too It wasn't their fault They did everything they could do To the guy she left Waiting for an answer to his question, "Why?" She's sorry, but she knew It would be a hard goodbye To anyone else She may've left out She promises to remember you When she gets to the end of her route But before her heart stopped beating She spoke the words that could no longer wait Even though her words would reach us Too late
