the news when it came
it hit me real hard
i couldn't believe it was true

cut down so young
with a very short life
it didn't seem fair or right

all the article said
that it wasn't accident

suicide was the most likely cause

witness state that you step out

death was your intentions that day

so why did you die take your own life

clutching my sunflowers in your hands
