Skeletons

She was dressed in white and we both spoke
The joy we had knowing we all made it
Now I'm dressed in black and the words just choke
Even though each life was meant to be traded

Was I there in your mind
When we were all asleep?
But you were up all night
'Cause maybe it'd be your last time

I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise
But how could I have known
The skeletons that visited our town
Would give you a piece of their ground?
But since now I know you're never coming home
I find it hard to get up and go
You didn't have a choice but since I do
I won't be the one to leave you

If we knew he'd be here dressed in black
Would we have still put him under attack?
It was time lost in a teenage syllable
But the word we learned was vincible

Now I know the way you felt
When you cried help
But no one cared
So they left you

And in a dream you died
But back then it was a lie
Now I know the worst dreams are the only ones bound to come true

Now I know the way you felt
When you cried help
But no one cared
So they left you
Now I know the nightmares of you were the only dreams which were meant to come true
