when i heard the news last night
i almost died
the thought...it hurt
it made my cry

i thought there was a chance
for us in life
but i guess i was wrong
now you're someone else's wife

the thing men do lives on after them
the hurt i may bring to those i love
only makes me want to say
"I'm Dead"

the love i bring to those i hurt
keeps me sane and high above
the lofty streets i do fly
to make these words fly true like a dove

you may not understand
but these words are for one woman only
when she reads these, she'll know
she knows already, I'm Dead
