I feel like it wasn't long ago,
Stopped talking to everyone you know,
You sold all of your possessions & cut off all your hair,
But I still found you gorgeous, even though you weren't all there.
CHORUS:
I should've listened to what you said,
When we found you, you were already dead.
I should've listened to what you said,
When we found you, you were already dead.
Told me everything you had to tell,
An' asked me if I still believed in Hell,
I never understood why you yelled at me that day,
I did all that I could, but I wish I f**in' stayed.
CHORUS
You looked so very peaceful on the ground,
Your silence drowned out every other sound,
You were wearing the dress I bought you for Christmas,
I've never seen you in that state of bliss.
CHORUS
I always was a heathen, but you made me a prayin' fool,
I need something to believe in, 'cause I only believed in you,
And your father cried for the first time, & he took whiskey off the shelf,
And your mother wouldn't stop blaming herself.
