Trigger Warning
She was 16 just embracing her figure
Making friends was easy
But finding love indifferent
She had the sob story
Mom gone Dad hit her
So when it came to men
She just felt like a victim
Til she met David
He was kind and showed interest
The first time they did it
He was honest with his feelings
Now they spew the word love
Making plans big wishes
Spend all night texting
Even exchanging pictures
And she thought nothing of it
One day she gets to school
They're all over the walls
Lockers and classrooms
She turns and runs
The silence muted her cries
Tuning out the laughing girls
And the lust from the guys
But wait, here's David
Handsome and in the way
She grabs some off the wall
And throws em all in his face
He reaches for her arm but she just races away
6 miles away from home so she runs a 10k
Storms into her room
Thinking her life's ruined
Her dad's gonna beat her
When he sees what she's been doing
Plus her phone keeps ringing
And David keeps texting
And she can't stop crying
But she can stop feeling
So she makes a noose
Climbs upon a chair
Lays it over her locket
Steps into the air
Then her life flashes
She regrets her decision
But the chair slips away
So she looks to the heavens like
Please don't take my life I don't wanna die
I promise I'll live right Just look me in my eyes
I'm praying that you hear
Or that you even care
I really hope you try
Just please don't take my life Please don't take my life
My life
(Please don't take)
My life
Please don't take my life
He was 17
Just becoming a man
6 months from graduation
1st day he skipped a class
Nervous as he drove
Hands at 2 and 10
1st car was nothing special
But to him it was a Benz
Cops in the next lane
Nearly hurled when he passed
Peeking back in the rear view
50 on the dash
Tryna adjust his posture
Ease up on the gas
But it was
Too late he could see the lights flash
Pulled off to the side
Anxious as he sat
Looking down at his phone
Scrambled to send a text
Heard the door open
Heart beating out his chest
Out of the car now
He heard it and just wept
Phone fell to the floor
His hands went in the air
Footsteps marching closer
He couldn't look at the mirror
Officer rolled up with his finger on the trigger
Looked him dead in the face and said what's the rush
Please don't take my life I don't wanna die
I promise I'll live right Just look me in my eyes
I'm praying that you hear
Or that you even care
I really hope you try
Just please don't take my life Please don't take my life
My life
(Please don't take)
My life
Please don't take my life
