Never Be The Same

As I lay on my creaky bed,
All these things played through my head.
Was it my fault that she’s not here?
All these voices from ear to ear.
I tried to be the one to save her,
but everything was just a blur.
the moment replayed over and over,
Can luck be found in a four-leaf clover?
As I remember back to the day,
all I wanted was for her to stay.
the sirens sounded everywhere,
If only it was just a nightmare.
My life will never be the same,
and I guess I'm the one to blame,
for the day that my life went black,
and she will never be back.
