Small town, just north of the city There's a girl all alone by the window in need and she She's thinking that this worlds too much to take And they could use one less heart to break She stares down at the world below Fools herself to thinking she should just let go, I know I wish she knew she wasn't so alone She left us a letter to outline the facts How she felt so alone like the world turned their backs Her parents don't notice she's slipping away She'd still be around if she just heard them say It's the ups and downs of living life this way Promise me you'll never go away Just stay with me through one more night Because it's always darkest before the light And now I promise you I'll never turn away I won't let you give us one less heart to break Flash back to early that year Between his home life and school he wished he'd just disappear, I know He's thinking that this worlds too much to take And they could use one less heart to break Whole world comin' down on his back He takes a bottle of pills and then he's finished with that, I know I wish he wasn't so alone He left us a letter to outline the facts How he felt so alone like the world turned their backs His parents don't notice he's slipping away He'd still be around if he just heard them say It's the ups and downs of living life this way Promise me you'll never go away Just stay with me through one more night Because it's always darkest before the light And now I promise you I'll never turn away I won't let you give us one less heart to break
