One Last Letter...

If you’re reading this There’s something I want to tell you There’s something you ought to know I will lock you in my memories Tell me I’ll never be alone Tell me I’m sleeping and I’m dreaming Maybe I’ll find out in the end That when you’re gone it's just the beginning And one day I’ll see you again So, save us tonight Save us four children As we fight to survive We’re holding onto wishes To just stay alive In 6 feet of sadness Just save us tonight As we write one last letter... Dear to whom this may concern I found that pull in my soul And played it out with my guitar I can call you my pulse You’re the closest thing to my heart I can call you the notes You put the step in my song You found the light in the storm Now the drops seem to crash and if this cigarette would last I could put the rest to the past If I could write you a letter What would I say If I could start this all over what would I change I don’t know what to think I don’t know where to go I don’t know who to trust I don’t know if I know Does this all get better? Do I get on my knees? Do I pray to Jesus? Will he change anything? Does he even hear us? Or do I need to scream? Save me, whoever As we write this last letter It’s 21 years from the start Sitting on the porch in the back of the yard I think it was summer of 96 when I asked "Will you be here forever?" You smiled And answered yes So, Save us tonight Save us four children From heartache tonight And we’ll dream of wishes To just stay alive In six feet of sadness As we write one last letter…
