lyrics

This world will leave you broken
That's what I've come to see
Small worries grow
Into a storm
Or Gather suddenly
They can sink a steady ship
In the calmest sea
I know Amy felt adrift
Her final breath left no relief
I wish I'd been a humane human being
I wish I'd been a better friend
If I had answered
Her phone call
She might be here today
We could go out to a show
I'd tell her I'm sorry
But it's what we do
Not what we say
From good intentions
The road to hell is paved
I'll never be the same
I don't deserve to anyway
When Amy was there for me
I failed to repay
Now all I own is shame
Ghosts in the haze of memories
Haunt me from the grave
Like scattered broken glass
Lives are shattered in the grasp
Of a clinched fist
From a senseless
Sudden tragedy
If my words were salvation
Upon a punk rock heroine
She'd curse the novelty of heroin
It makes no sense to me
Amy wasn't some junkie
At the fate of Hate City
This world may leave you broken
Down in the debris
Sifting through the wreckage
For some hidden meaning
Hidden underneath
There was no reason no relief
For a lost girl in search of peace
Much too sudden
Too young to die
