As I Am Dying

I’m lying here on the side of the road
Calling you on the telephone
To let you know	
That I love you
I should have never gone
I should have never left
And I’m doing my best
To breathe this breath
To tell you that I love you
As the rain is slowly beating
Down upon my face
As the blood is slowly seeping
From all of my wounds
You’re the only one I’m thinking of
The only one I want
Mistakes were made
and prices are being paid
as I’m lying here dying
I just needed you to see
that I’ve finally seen
how much you mean to me
And while I’m dying here
lying on the side of the road
I just needed you to know	
I died loving you
