Blue Strings II [Verse I] You should've seen that she was elegant, beautifully intelligent 'cause baby girl was perfect like no person I had ever met And never could escape my mind, I would always make the time In a world of open books to read she was my favorite line Sending texts back and forth from morning 'til after dark We played the same video games and attracted hearts But the music took control, I could see it shook her soul And what pushed her most were the folks that were stood up close... Next to me, I thought it was destiny But they were ingredients leading the wrong recipe! So she had to fade away, said she couldn't take the change Even though the gra** only ever grows greenest on a rainy day "And I performed a show up in Ma**, man I didn't know That baby girl had called me twice, damn, and I missed them both And when I checked my voicemail, she left me two messages The first one was nothing but this is what the second said….” (Hook I) She said, I wonder when it'll be my day ‘Cause I'm not too far from breaking down All I've got are screams inside But somehow they come out in a smile And I wonder if I'll always feel this way, this way... [Verse II] Yeah, so right after my show I had to call her back Been a few years since I saw her last She told me ‘bout her life and what it meant to her Said her friends were dead to her, Said her boyfriend mistreated and neglected her That he'd lie and cheat on her, then she'd lie and cheat on him Until they broke up, and that's when it cut deep within So she'd start to party more, s**, d** & alcohol Depression's a disease and broken wings always have to fall I really tried to help, but she blocked me out, We fought, but she knocked me down And forced me to watch her drown with thoughts that were not allowed I stressed she was incomplete, desperately in the need Of a friend I wished was me... "I'm feeling all alone, I hit her up, I knew I couldn't give her up I called her to apologize for all the times I wasn't there with her But her voicemail answered and my eyes started filling up I took a deep breath and I spilled my guts, This is what I said…” (Hook II) Maybe you've fallen down Maybe you just took the long way home Baby, you could never love you, like me And one day this will fade away In the mirror you'll see your smiling face And standing next to you will always be me, yeah me [Verse III] Yeah, she didn't answer me, I hoped that she'd be there for me But never could I've been prepared to see what appeared to me I released my phone and collapsed upon the floor As I read “Rest In Peace” all across her Facebook wall Then her brother had returned her call, his words confirmed it all Saw our years flash as each tear took it's turn to fall... It is still the worst pain I've ever felt And worst of all she did it to herself! I hate the fact she just abandoned us, this was not the plan for “us"! In this life, You will lose everything you care to love I can still feel her touch, leading towards what we built Which is now deeply crushed underneath this very guilt I was told, "Eternity will dwell upon the right and wrong decisions The unexamined life is simply not worth living So knowing that she wasn't there I called her phone again With a mouth full of pain relief and this is what I said” (Bridge) If I could shrink it down, and put it in your hands We made it hurt so much, I can't forget the best Just tell me what to say, show me what to do Then I can forgive me, and I would forgive you (Hook III) Maybe you've fallen down Maybe you just took the long way home But baby, you will never love you, like me And one day this will fade away In the mirror you'll see your smiling face And standing next to you will always be me You know it'll always be me, and I will wait... Always be me 'til I see you smiling
