"Meaningless Death"

I don't want to lie in the end
When every one comes to me and says it must be a great lose to you
I do not want to rack my brain for good memories to justify some tears
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sigh of relief
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sign of new beginning
I don't want your death to be meaningless

I don’t want to lie in the end
When every one comes to me and says how will you cope
I do not want to count the years I had been copping on my own
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sigh of relief
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sign of new beginning
I don't want your death to be meaningless

I don't want to lie in the end
When every one comes to me and says what a great husband you were
I do not want to remember the beatings whose scars still grace my skin
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sigh of relief
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sign of new beginning
I don't want your death to be meaningless

I don't want to lie in the end
When every one comes to me and says how are the kids holding up
I do not want to say that Thank God they are safe from his violent tempers now
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sigh of relief
So baby, please lets not waste time I do not want the end to be a sign of new beginning
I don't want your death to be meaningless
