It was just another story printed on the second page
Underneath the Tiger’s football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on his bedroom floor
There’ll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they’ll lay him ‘neath a stone…
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin’ no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely… and nobody know
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Did no one see the writing on the wall?
I’m not blamin’ anybody, we all do the best we can
I know hindsight’s 20/20, but I still don’t understand…

You recognize me? I believe I’ve read most of your posts, and always thought they were great. I feel honored, haha.
Of course I recognized you!! I’d recognize any username I’d seen before:) And thank you for reading most of my posts, that means a lot to me to know that someone is still reading what I’m writing these days, I was kinda feeling abit alone, it feels like that sometimes, like no one is listening to what you have to sy, and being a teenager it actually feels like that more often then most ppl, so its nice to hear from a friendly…username:) lol, it kinda pathetic I’m pining to hear from another computer screen huh :p
