I borrowed a dress shirt from my friend,
I combed my hair until it was straight,
I bought new shoes and I felt ill,
I shaved my face and then stood still.
I rode in the back seat of a car.
I felt the wind wrap around us all.
The girls all had their makeup on.
I knew where I was and I was lost.
I walked right through the entry way,
and looked at pictures of your face,
I saw the words that people framed,
around the idea of your name,
I stood inside a giant crowd,
and felt the words your brother mouthed,
I saw the object there in place,
of the space you used to take.
I would never wear that shirt again,
I would never wear that shirt again,
I HOPE IT FALLS APART AT EVERY THREAD.
I stood beside the one I love,
It was her legs that held me up.
My head floated all around,
It hit the ceiling then came down.
I would never wear that shirt again,
I would never wear that shirt again,
I HOPE IT FALLS APART AT EVERY THREAD.
I stood inside your mothers house,
And watched video of you acting out,
I was scared because I felt that same hurt.
But now alone in that dress shirt.
