Ten Years Too Late (Acoustic)

Michael died without a sound
He thought all the love won't save him now

Took the pills and he drank them down
While I was somewhere else in town

Then he closed his eyes and when he closed his eyes
That's when he closed his eyes and drowned
There was no divining, there was no reviving
From the cold New Haven ground

Now my life's alight a little less
I sleep in late, thinking that's best
Will I wake at winter's end
When I can't see around that bend?

So I look to him on the darkest days
When I'm feeling broke and drained
Missing all the things I've lost
Wondering what death would cost

Then I hold that knife and when I hold that knife
Is when I find that hole inside

So I close my eyes and when I close my eyes
I breathe again and I start to cry

Ten years too late and I still see your face
There's no escape from that domino chain
Ten years too late and I can't walk away
Now that I know what I'd leave in my wake

There are days when I'm still down
And I want to carve the pain right out
So I think of Michael, sadly smile
And I know I'll still be here a while
