Michael died without a sound
He thought all the love won't save him now
Took the pills and he drank them down
While I was somewhere else in town
Then he closed his eyes
And when he closed his eyes
Is when he closed his eyes and drowned
There was no divining
There was no reviving
From the cold New Haven ground
Now my life's alight a little less
I sleep in late, thinking that's best
Will I wake at winter's end
When I can't see around that bend?
So I like to him on the darkest days
When I'm feeling broke and drained
Missing all the things I've lost
Wondering what death would cost
Then I hold that knife
And when I hold that knife
Is when I find that hole inside
So I close my eyes
And when I close my eyes
I breathe again and I start to cry
Ten years too late and I still see your face
There's no escape from that domino chain
Ten years too late and I can't walk away
Now that I know what I'd leave in my wake
There are days when I'm still down
And I want to carve the pain right out
But I think of Michael, sadly smile,
And I know I'll still be here a while
