Cauterize

Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place
And it read, "I wish you were here, I wish you were"
And it sounds like the soundtrack from my better night
And it sang, "I wish you were here. You should have stayed here"
As light leaves my eyes
I realize I must have died
It looks like I didn't make it through the night
I'm never gonna say goodbye
I'm never gonna say anything at all against the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
Found a letter
A letter from my dear old friend
And it said, "I wish you were here, I wish you were"
And a prayer, a prayer in a familiar voice
And she wept, "I wish you were here, why can't you be here?"
Cause when I close my eyes
I realize I must have died
It looks like I didn't make it through the night
I'm never gonna say goodbye
I'm never gonna say anything at all against the world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
