i sense the truth within his lies
i see the tears beyond his eyes
he wants to be with her, but she'll never know
she wants to take her life but it doesn't show

she cries inside beneath her smile
as she goes to fix her locker dial

she thinks to herself one last time:
"this is the last lie about being 'fine'
tonight's the night; it's finally over
i've hid the gun, it's under my covers"

as she closed her locker, their eyes met
they stopped in that moment, feelign a life well spent

their acts premeditated,
his device unknown
until late that night when both guns had shown

before he left this hideous world
he'd decided to call that suicidal girl

he told the truth of his feeligs inside
all those jokes he told were lies in disguise
he thought he saved her with his last phone call
but he heard the shot, then heard the gun fall

he waited for that moment to tell ehr the truth,
but his heart stopped racing and his lif became mute

he prayed it didn't happen, but knew it was true
there was nothing left, so he took his life too
