TELEVISION SKIES - Rain The Day You Died lyrics
[TELEVISION SKIES - Rain The Day You Died lyrics]
You were only like 13 when
Your mama lost her life
A bullet in your soul
And diamonds in your eyes
Teardrops and streaks of black
Gold and white a bright light to many
And ready to fight for your life
You lived with a cousin but
He was high every day
He beat the shit outta people
You thought of running away
But you had nowhere to go
You had no choice but to stay
So every night before you cried yourself
To sleep you would pray
You had a friend at school and
She would stick by your side
And even though it was tough you
Always knew that she tried
And when she askеd if you would
Be forever friеnds you replied
We're best friends until the motherfucking
Day that I die
There was a boy there who always
Teased the shit outta you
People said he must like you but
You knew that wasn't true
So you would just laugh and brush
Away the things he would do
Until one day he disappeared right
Out of the blue
You were 17 when I met you
You'd been crying a lot
And when I asked if you were okay
You said you were not
So then I hugged you real tight
Your face was red hot
And you soaked up my shoulder
With your tears and forgot
And I could tell you were different
You had a smile like gold
You had a way to keep your head up
And stay warm in the cold
I loved to listen to your jokes
And all the stories you told
And had a feeling we'd be friends
Too until we were old
I know that I wasn't easy
I could be difficult too
I know I caused a lot of
Trouble you were gettin' into
But you would always just smile and
Try to carry me through
At least you did for a while
When I could recognize you
But then you started to change and
All the light that you had
It started fading away and then
Your smile was sad
I saw it happen so fast, I saw it all go bad
And when I'd ask you about it
I'd only make you mad
And now in the silence
Maybe you'll find your place to hide
There is no explaining
Remember it rained the day you died
And now in the silence
Maybe you'll find your place to hide
There is no explaining
Remember it rained the day you
And I remember this one night
We sat in your car
Smoking a joint in the back seat
And looking up at the stars
And then you said you were happy
I believed every word
But at the time I hadn't realized
That your vision was blurred
And I don't know what happened
Everything seemed alright
That one time we climbed up
On the rocks at night you had a funny way of
Telling everyone what you thought
Without a doubt in your mind but
All your words in a knot
When you were 21, we started hangin' a lot
Watching movies in your room and
Smoking weed that you bought
You know I always looked up to you
For what I'm not sure
I guess I never really knew
That you were so insecure
So when they found you that morning
The whole world was grey
But I just couldn't believe it
You said you needed a break
And all you told me in the
Message was you're going away
But still I know in my heart
You really wanted to stay
But you fucked up, God I hate your face
You got a lotta nerve coming
Here to fuck with fate
There were so many people here
Who'd always wait for you
Patience ate at you, but it's to late for you
And I'm not here to start
A fuckin' debate with you
You said you couldn't stay but I
Wish I knew the truth
I don't understand, was it really that bad
Or were you just fucked up on
Every pill that you had
And now in the silence
Maybe you'll find your place to hide
There is no explaining
Remember it rained the day you died
And now in the silence
Maybe you'll find your place to hide
There is no explaining
Remember it rained the day you
And I'm sorry it was so bad if only I knew
Maybe something could have been done
To help you through
I don't wanna sound mad cause
I know it's alright i just don't understand
It's a beautiful life
And I been gifted to know you
Now I speak for the world
We've been lucky to have
Such a beautiful girl
Yeah I remember that smile
You were never that shy
Made me laugh so hard that I wanted to die
And it's still fucked up
But I can let it all go
I can get through the pain
Just wanted you to know
That you've shown the whole world
The strength you've unfurled
More valuable in life than
Any diamonds or pearls
When this shit gets hard and
We begin to untie we can look for the light
That exists in your eyes
And if there's anything I wish
I could've done it's reply
To your text that you were leaving
Wish that I had said goodbye
Your mama lost her life
A bullet in your soul
And diamonds in your eyes
Teardrops and streaks of black
Gold and white a bright light to many
And ready to fight for your life
You lived with a cousin but
He was high every day
He beat the shit outta people
