April's Grave

I blow out the candle and close my eyes to sleep
But you know I can't do it I haven't for weeks
I guess I'll tell my story there's nothing left for me to do
So just listen to what I have to say and
Pray to God it never happens to you

I had this friend her life wasn't going just right
A month ago she died it was suicide
But hey, it'll never happen to you not even to one of your friends
That's what I thought too now see where I stand

April's grave, April's grave I come here often since she went away
If she could still talk I know what she'd say
She'd say she was foolish that she made a mistake
But she can't talk She's gone forever
The pain that I have will leave me never

I went to the funeral I didn't want to go
But I had to see her my heart told me so
A lot of people showed up that day some family some friends
But where were they when April needed the help
Most of them sat there few did I see cry
All I could see on anyone's face was a simple question why
I don't know the answer I've tried as hard as I can
Even if I found it I still wouldn't understand

April's grave, April's grave I come here often since she went away
If she could still talk I know what she'd say
She'd say she was foolish that she made a mistake
But she can't talk she's gone forever
But the pain that I have will leave me never

Now I'm gonna carry on and I know it's gonna be tough
One thing I know the Lord's with me and baby that's enough
So if you're out there somewhere listen to this lonely song
Just reach out cause you won't be alone
We're all growing up in a crazy world where things aren't as they seem
You're gonna have good times and bad times
But you gotta hold on to your dreams
