Us (You & I)
Why did you do it?
Was the pain so terrible?
Now you're swinging from a cord in your attic,
So your mother is crying
And your father is dying.
Bet you didn't think they'd care.
Bet you thought they all hated you.
No one gave you a chance,
So there are scars on your wrists
And tears in your eyes.
I didn't know you,
So I shouldn't cry.
But you just gave up.
You didn't even try.
Why did you do it?
Was the hurt that unbearable?
Now your casket's being taken six feet under,
So your brother is crying
And your best friend is dying.
Did you think they wouldn't care?
Did you assume they all hated you?
I never gave you a chance,
So there are scars on my wrists
And tears in my eyes.
Because now I know I love you, unperfect stranger.
And you never gave us a change.
