The Silence Hurts The Most - Lastelle

June nineteenth

The weather report read heavy showers

Your car’s left headlight was still out

Yet you still took the risk

The dark draws in at five

Almost pitch black by six

The clouds, they slowly roll in

Our boy comes in from the cold

The sound of a lover’s quarrel, it fills the air around him

You turn and open the door

And grab his hand

Can you see the innocence in a child’s face?

I lost sight of it in the rear view

As you drove away

When will I see your face again?

They say the light that burns twice as bright

Burns for half as long

It was your light that burned the brightest

The brightest

The rain falls

It’s clouding your view, just like your anger

The road starts winding up ahead

But you’re too blind to see

You’ve got your foot to the floor

Your boy sits quietly

You never know how it feels to stare death in the face

Until you looked in his eyes

And you took the corner at forty-five

Where you lost control

The car stops rolling, your eyes open

There’s blood but you’re fine

Eerily silent, your boy’s still there but he’s not crying

In fact, he makes no noise at all

Your heart sinks to the floor

Frantically making the call

Ambulance came, try to resuscitate

But they’re too late

I heard a sadness in their voice

When they announced that date

No, there was nothing they could do

No, there was nothing they could say

He died on June nineteenth

Died on a Sunday

I’ll never forget how you sunk to your knees

How you sunk to your knees

I’ll always regret this

Your face bathed in sadness

I’ll always regret this

I am so sorry, I’ve made the worst mistake I could make

I let my anger be my guide and I lost my way

One selfish act has taken everything that I love

I’d give every part of myself to bring you back to us

Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t see you again

Oh dear child, I hope that you are safe in heaven

Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t be forgiven

Oh dear child, I wish it were my life instead

(They say the light that burns twice as bright

Burns for half as long

It was your light that burned the brightest

The brightest)

They say the light that burns twice as bright

Burns for half as long

It was your light that burned the brightest

The brightest

Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t see you again

Oh dear child, I hope that you are safe in heaven

Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t be forgiven

Oh dear child, I wish it were my life instead

Regret lingers in those eyes

Since you took the corner at forty-five
