Save you one last time

A small boy delivered the news
That was it and you were gone
It seems like you’ll be here tomorrow
But I know that I am wrong
I know I haven’t yet heard the truth
I’ll never hear what really happened
And that’s okay- I’ll believe what I want to believe
But I give you my apologies
I should have been there- I could have stopped everything
I could have kept your temper in my pocket
Saved your life- your future
But I didn’t because I wasn’t there
A knife to the throat was a knife to the heart
Your heart
Your life is ruined
Congratulations
Your friends will miss you
Your future called- it wants its potential back
Because you stole it
Hid it away in your anger’s place
Everything has a place, Kelsey
And I should have been in mine to save you one last time
