She lays awake at night listening to the silence wishing she could go back.
His mind wanders drifting to the place of yesterday’s
How did they get here, how did they survive?
All the anger hangs heavy in the night air.
Wondering to themselves..
Had she been a little stronger
Had I cared a little more
Had she believed a little deeper
Had I loved a little harder
She lays on the floor at the scene of the crime, covered in broken promises and shattered dreams,
She’s holding the neck of an empty bottle.
Tears run down her cheeks
She feels a weight give way
She’s swallowed.
Had she been a little stronger
Had I cared a little more
Had she believed a little deeper
Had I loved a little harder
Alone in the dark, he falls to his knees
They laid her to rest today.
He clings to the 30 day chip she was so proud to own.
It was just last week she wore the smile
Tears flood to his eyes as he looks up and yells
Had she been a little stronger
Had I cared a little more
Had she believed a little deeper
Had I loved a little harder
The bed feels cold as he reaches out to touch her
He knows he will never feel her skins warmth again.
He blames himself, he knew her weaknesses..her desire
Why….
Had he not been a little stronger
Had he not cared a little more
Had he not believed a little deeper
Had he not loved a little harder
Would she be here consoling him tonight
