Because

I once almost killed myself not even that long ago
I held the blade in my hand and ask God, just to let her know
And then I thought what the hell I won’t let her get me down
And looking back now
I can say with regret had I never thought that I’d be dead

So I went to friends and got a little drunk
Came home wrote a e-mail that sucked
And then we talked it all out
Talk, talk that’s what it’s all about
Decided we’d be friends
Better to have just a little and pretend

So I went out again, got a little drunk
Then it hit me
Why do I want her at all?
Just why, why did I want her to know
Why, why, why I just couldn’t cope

And now I’m here eyes red as rose
All because she was confused
Because she wasn’t what she said
All because
Just because
Because
Because
We met

Author notes

So it sucks, just thought I'd put it up here after a rather emotional encounter - heartbreak, break-ups
