A bullet in her head
But living is on her mind
He doesn’t get to say
Whether yet my time
Has come
Not him not anyone
Blood is on her dress
But they’re just stains of wine
He doesn’t get to say
Whether yet my time
She crawls and calls 911
Red lights are flashing all around
Seem like salvation signs
The medics are stunned
She remains calm
He wouldn’t let her leave
No she doesn’t have to run away
Just when hope began to fray
Freedom has eased away the pain
Now he’s to wear the ball and chain
And when you realize
For the very first time
Every time you open your eyes
Ain’t it just what it’s all about?
And when light fills up the skies
For the very first time
Every time the sun rise
Ain’t it just what it’s all about?
Her family sinks in grief
As the doctor lays his brief
You won’t have short term memory
For as long as you live
That’s fine
All I every wished for were the long term ones
Anyways, that’s fine fine fine
It has just slipped
Out of my mind
And when you realize
For the very first time
Every time you open your eyes
Ain’t it just what it’s all about?
And when light fills up the skies
For the very first time
Every time the sun rise
Ain’t it just what it’s all about?
It’s beyond dangerous and wild
To try and have this child
You’ll keep forgetting that
He’s even alive
Besides,
You’ve been through much
You might not survive
But you could see on her wicked smile
She hasn’t come here to decide
And doctor won’t you certify
That when you realize
For the very first time
Every time you open your eyes
Ain’t it just what it’s all about?
And when light fills up the skies
For the very first time
Every time the sun rise
Ain’t it just what it’s all about?
