It was late that night,
no one awake but me
and of course people could care less,
even my own family
as I lied on the floor
trying so hard to breath

I screamed to my mother for help, almost begging
but she didn't come...
she mustn't of heard
so I reached for the phone
trying to see the numbers to dial, but they were all such a blur

and after a few trys,
the phone dialed through
and I gasped to speak,
but out came no words

so I still lied there,
ready to die
and confusingly burst into tears,
yes I cried
suddenly i managed to say something brief
"help!" and to my father this i did speak

but he was on the other end of the line,
and by the time he would have got to me
i would no longer be alive
but tonight there was an angel watching over me
and after all that time i once again began to breath

my life which was just slipping away
came back to me to say "todays not your day"
I knew that it meant i shouldn't die
but still so shook up i couldn't help but cry

and after all those days I prayed I would die
hopelessly living,
crying inside,
tonight i realized my life is still not worth it
but today was not my day to die
but just in case tomorrow is,
tonight will be my final...goodbye
