Not Prepared
Not Prepared
I’m not gonna watch the sun set
In the eyes of your 13 yr. old girl
I’m not gonna stand by silently suited
As the funeral flags unfurl
I’ve no desire to try to hide
A single desperate tear
As I stand among your family and friends
Reflecting on what brought us here
It seems to me you’ve given up hope
There’s that vacancy in your eyes
I wish that I could make you see
That in my heart is where your hope lies.
I’ll stand by you I swear I will
No matter what life throws
But you have got to stop yourself
You’re dying and it shows
Your self destruction and suicide
I’ll not be a party to
But when you’re gone and the pain remains
I’ll still be in love with you.
