June was just a quiet girl
She made good grades and after school
She rode her bike back home to help her mother
She savored all the simple things
The tire swings and trampolines
And finding time to play with her little brother
She may have been the last one to know
We couldn't bear to lose her glow
She sold her soul to the atmosphere
Waging wars with every single tear
Her smile made the demons run for cover
And Jesus cried when He wrote her name
In that great big book full of all the flames
That died out before they joined the holy fire
She may have been the last one to know
We couldn't bear to lose her glow
She may have been the last one to know
She shouldn't be the first one to go
But June you burnt a hole so bright it made the night sky glow
And the cigarette smoke won't hold me close tonight
And if you see that light
May you be alright
I'm no good at the grieving game
I'll throw my mind to the open flame
No nothing will remain the same
But they still remember your name
Oh mine is a wretched soul
And I would trade it for your own
So give me back my heart of stone
Cuz I can't deal with it alone
No I can't deal with it alone
