Losing You

I was waiting for you in this empty house
You were late again, I waited for your car
But it never came, I didn’t know why
Until the police came and said you’d died
I couldn’t believe it, this couldn’t have happened to you
You were my love, it couldn’t be true
Tears in my eyes, pain in my heart they took me to see you
I saw you lying there, so peaceful and quiet
It was your end just as you were beginning to start
I couldn’t take it, losing you
My mind failed, I didn’t know what to do
The knife in my hand, the grief in my heart
I knew you’d be waiting for me, then we’d never have to be apart
