Couldn't You Resist?

I would do anything
To be young again
To laugh and play with you
When you weren’t dead

Imagine those fun times we could have
Those rules we could break
But sister, oh sister
Why did you take a break?

When I saw you hanging there
I cried more than you think
You were gone Mum said
Gone in just a blink

Didn’t you think of me?
When you cut your wrists
I loved you so much
Couldn’t you resist?
