When You Died
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I quit thinking about killing myself
When you died
Just for a day or two
I must have wanted to
Just for a day or two
I must have wanted to live
I quit believing these lies i tell myself
When you died
Just for a day or two
I must have wanted to
Just for a day or two
I must have wanted the truth
I will always love you my friend
Now that you died
But just for a day or two
I'd like to be with you
Just for a day or two
I'd like to have you alive
