You want it, don't know it, that this world's worth the pain that it cost us
But the life, such a bright life, don't know what it was to do that
As simple as I can, I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen, and where it will leave us
Now as your body lets you die
And I sit here still alive
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy at rest
guitar solo
There's a fluid in your lungs
That tells you you're losing
Stop breathing, the medicine that comes
Will fix you, will help you
But takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy at rest
Writing, beautiful
Something torn from my hands
I'm not ready for you yet
I've got my lifejing list
At your doorstep


This day will end
With the love that's complete
This is not how, this is not how
This * was, it was
This day will end
With the love that's complete
My closest friend
Here in front of me
I want to know where
Is it worth all the pain that's gone down
But I need to take one thing
To know where I should stand
To know where I should stand
