I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm stuck inside a nightmare every single effing day
It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black and there's no pretending
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
I know you didn't plan this
You tried to do what's right
But in the middle of this madness
I'm the one you left to win this fight
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that for eternity I'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you but I failed to
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn and there's no final chapter
I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
I know you've lived a nightmare
I caused us so much pain
But baby, please don't do what I did
I don't want you to waste your life in vain
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
You're not the only one who needed me
I thought you understood
You were the one I needed
And you left me as I always feared you would
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn't matter how
The petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you -
Eh.

[Chorus]
Teacher, teacher can't tell me nothing
Only word I learned was dysfunction
Ahh, yeah, ahh
Mom and daddy, you just don't get it
All the kids at school say I'm different
Ahh, yeah, ahh
[Verse 1]
Johnny's got a loaded .45
Found it in his dad's shoebox
Johnny doesn't want to be alive
But he's gotta make his school stop
He's-
Sick of being bullied, his mother's starting to worry
But she doesn't want to ask him or try to call the authorities
Now he is on the bus, to him it's just another morning
But he doesn't got a book, he's got a gun without a warning
[Verse 2]
Cindy's got a scholarship to Yale
Wants to be a nurse and spread love
Cindy's moving out before the fall
Only got a week til' school's done
Taking every final of the season, she doesn't mind 'em
She's always nice to the kids that are coming away behind her
She would never hurt a fly or bat an eye, she's way too kind
But then a flash and then a cry and sees Johnny with a rifle
[Verse 3]
Johnny sees Cindy in the hall
Runs to go and get her by the hair
Cindy didn't want to be involved
Johnny says "Stay the f--- here"
Starts to hear sirens and everybody is crying
The police are outside and now Cindy's inside a closet
And she doesn't want to die, she's got a bible in her pocket
But where the f--- is God when the world's getting way too violent?
[Verse 4]
Eyes. Closed
Praying for her life while the shots, go
Screaming for the cops but they're not, close
She's not writing letters but where's John, Doe
He's right here
Grabs Cindy by her bright white hair
Says to "be quiet or your life ends here"
But the door breaks down and now John gets scared
So he puts the gun to her head
Life ain't fair
"Let me tell you about my life quick
I'm the f---in' shy kid
At the party I'm the kid that never got invited
I'm the one that failed every test, every problem
It's not f---ing fair you're in Yale for your college!
Goddamn my mom, can't stand she's drunk
Pop xans, I can't stand feeling numb
Stop moving Cindy! You squeal too much!"
Pop goes the gun, another school shot up
[Conclusion]
Reporting live from high school
We're now learning more about the terrible events that took place
And what can drive someone that seemed like a normal kid
To do something so evil and inhumane
We're asking everyone and anyone that sees warning signs-
To please offer help and love and compassion to those who need it
Together we can make a difference -
