Suicidal Lover

By: Richardt Tait

i turn on the t.v. there's nothing on
i turn it back off
just stare at the empty screen
tonight i feel so suicidal
why did you do it to me

i open the cupboard
take a bottle of vodka from the back
say what the heck, gonna down this one
it makes me forget
all the things you said
all the things you've done

tomorrow morning i'll wake up with a hangover
and as i look in the mirror
see the same pain
feel the same pain
i open the drawer, take out the .38
and as i feel the cold steel in my hand
decide to put it back, i
lie on my bed, close my eyes,
cry myself to sleep

how could you forget my name
say you do not feel the same
some people say time will kill my agony
but you see, the clock ain't ticking for me
anymore...

now i have to, have to move on
no i won't look back, won't shed a tear
maybe when i see you again i'll break down and cry
for now that won't be
till the day that i die

i'll forget your name in time
no, i won't feel the same again
people were right, time did kill my agony
you see the clock, it's ticking for me
again...
