Almost

I almost watched you die tonight Your finger was on the trigger I sat and watched you cry tonight And curse your wretched life We almost had to bury you Put you in the ground We almost had to kiss you goodbye And see you in our dreams We almost had to go on without you Life would Never be the same Not being able to see your sweet face Or hear your infectious laugh I made it to your door Only to give you a gift And happened to catch you Saying your goodbyes I got to you right on time Twice in a row Please know its fate telling you to live- its not time to die But I know you I know life means nothing So if your mad at me for ruining your plans Oh well You almost died tonight You almost said goodnight Please dont leave us my friend You're worth so much more than that. 08-03-2004
