The Funeral
Today you brought me flowers
And you sang my favorite song
Today you said you love me
And you wish I had not gone.
You said I was a good girl
You called me your best friend
You said you didn’t understand
Why my life came to an end.
If you only knew how I felt
You'd have checked on me, you said
If you’d only paid attention
I wouldn’t have been dead.
You said I was always smiling
And could light up any room
You didn’t know my laughter
Was just hiding my gloom.
I’m sorry that I hurt you
But I couldn’t bear to stay
And that is why I took my life
On that dark fateful day.
Don’t blame yourself anymore
There’s nothing you could have done
My mind was fighting a battle
Which just couldn’t be won.
I tried my best to mask it
And never let it show
But I couldn’t hold much longer
I just had to let go.
I’m in a better place now
And free from all my pain
So hold on to my memory
Until we meet again
