April's grave Lyrics

I blow out the candle and close my eyes to sleep

But you know I can't do it I haven't for weeks

I guess I'll tell my story there's nothing left for me to do

So just listen to what I have to say and pray to God it never happens to you

I had this friend her life wasn't going just right

A month ago she died it was suicide

But hey, it'll never happen to you not even to one of your friends

That's what I thought too now see where I stand

April's grave, April's grave I come here often since she went away

If she could still talk I know what she'd say

She'd say she was foolish that she made a mistake

But she can't talk She's gone forever

The pain that I have will leave me never

I went to the funeral I didn't want to go

But I had to see her my heart told me so

A lot of people showed up that day some family some friends

But where were they when April needed the help

Most of them sat there few did I see cry

All I could see on anyone's face was a simple question why

I don't know the answer I've tried as hard as I can

Even if I found it I still wouldn't understand

April's grave, April's grave I come here often since she went away

If she could still talk I know what she'd say

She'd say she was foolish that she made a mistake

But she can't talk she's gone forever

But the pain that I have will leave me never

Now I'm gonna carry on and I know it's gonna be tough

One thing I know the Lord's with me and baby that's enough

So if you're out there somewhere listen to this lonely song

Just reach out cause you won't be alone

We're all growing up in a crazy world where things aren't as they seem

You're gonna have good times and bad times but you gotta hold on to your dreams
