Lyrics for The Way Some People Die
It wasnt it more than a minute That first one was the test He was listening but i dont think he heard the rest It was easy to fall, but not easy to take a stand With the sound of her voice or the touch of her hand Everyones heard the reasons why A kid would let the poison creep inside He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied The way some people die He doesnt think of tomorrow And he seldom looks back When he did he saw failure And a future so black So, he sees himself through sad eyes That have never caught the look of love He'll never see what hes giving up Everyones heard the reasons why A kid would let the poison creep inside He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied The way some people die You might think hes a victim He just thinks its a guess Its not the question, its who you ask And the boats fly on friday And you're never gonna see him again It wasn't love that did him in Everyones heard the reasons why A kid would let the poison creep inside He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied The way some people die
