One Day from Six Months

they say the good die young
if that's true, then you were the best around
i've been searching for substance, calling out lies
my mind has solidified as truth

one day until six months passing by
i look towards the sky for answers
laying on the curb watching cars pass by
next to you is where i should be

but i won't make the same mistake as you
the mistake 
that took my breath away

why can't i bounce back
and live my life as i've always known it?
memories of you are still with me
but every day they keep losing color

i could say those damn clichés
like "you took the best of me"
"you stole my life from me"
"you were my everything"

but see, you've made me into a better person
by making yourself die

fuck that finger that pulled the trigger
fuck those thoughts that made you believe in the lies
those fucking lies solidified as truth

but i won't make the same mistake as you
the mistake
that made you not see the light of day

why can't i bounce back
and live my life as i've always known it?
memories of you are still with me
but every day they keep losing color
why can't i bounce back
and achieve every one of my dreams?
it's because of you that i'm this way
because of you, i'm incomplete
oh, you don't know what you've done to me
you took the best of me
you stole my life from me
you were my everything
i just let you slip through my fingers
when that finger pulled that fucker
