lyrics

Rather be dead than lonely
And nothing’s gonna right this wrong
I needed you just to hold me
Why couldn’t you have played along

Television lights the hallway
Paints a pattern on the wall
Maybe you’ll believe me someday
Maybe sometime after the fall

Sun shining through your hair
Summer is in the air
And the flowers still grow
So then why did you go

Rather be dead than lonely
It’s only getting harder to breathe
All along the cracks were showing
If only you had listened to me

And the flowers still grow
So then why did you go
So then why did you go
So then why did you go
