That I bought those pills
I thought I would need
And I wrote a letter to my family
Said it's not your fault
And you've been good to me
Just lately I've been feeling
Like I don't belong
Like the ground's not mine
To walk upon
And I've heard that music
Echo through the house
Where my grandmother drank
By herself
And I sat watching a flower
As it was withering
I was embarrassed by its honesty
So I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
Not this fucking wreck
That's taken its place
So please forgive what I have done
No you can't stay mad at the setting sun
Cause we al get tired, I mean eventually
There is nothing left to do but sleep
But spring came bearing sunlight
Those persuasive rays
So I gave myself a few more days
My salvation it came, quite suddenly
When Justin spoke very plainly
He said, "Of course it's your decision,
But just so you know,
If you decide to leave,
Soon I will follow."
I wrote this for a baby,
Who has yet to be born,
My brother's first child,
I hope that womb's not too warm
Cause it's cold out here
And it will be quite a shock,
To breathe this air,
To discover loss
So I'd like to make some changes,
Before you arrive,
So when your new eyes meet mine,
They won't see no lies,
Just love,
Just love
I will be pure,
No, no, I will be pure
Like snow,
Like gold,
Like snow,
Like gold,
Like snow,
Like snow,
Like gold,
Like gold,
Like gold...
