You took your life with the last of the prescription pills,
No last words or sudden signs,
Just cigarettes by the ashtray and fifty-some bills,
Daddy, why didn't you ask for help? They were just fines.

Or was it more than just the money?
I remember you sleeping all day--or at least alot,
I don't understand, you were loved by so many,
But when the night came around, you'd stay up with eyes bloodshot.

You pretended that you were just fine,
Had a dream of cultivating a bit of land where you were raised,
You made me believe you were as strong as a lion,
I was just too blind to see all the pain that stayed.

Now I'm stuck down here, searching for you up in the sky,
I even tried to take my own life, hoping just to see you,
Do you see how much your life affected everyone else's by?
I didn't even get to say goodbye when the time was due.
