Last

day

of

the

rest

of

my

life

I

wish

I

would'-

ve

known

cause

I

didn't

kiss

my

ma-

ma

good-

bye

I

didn't

tell

her

that

I

loved

her

and how

much

I

care

Or

thank

my

pops

for

all the

talks

and

all

the

wis-

dom

he

shared

U-

na-

ware,

I

just

did

what

I

al-

ways

do

E-

very-

day,

the

same

rou-

tine

be-

fore

I

skate

off

to

school

But

who

knew

that

this

day

was-

n't

like

the

rest

In-

stead

of

ta-

king

a

test,

I

took

two

to

the

chest

Call

me

blind,

but

I

didn't

see it

co-

ming

E-

very-

body

was

run-

ning,

but

I

couldn't

hear

no-

thing

Ex-

cept

gun

blasts,

it

hap-

pened

so

fast

I

don't

real-

ly

know

this

kid

though

I

sit

by

him

in

class

May-

be

this

kid

was

rea-

ching

out

for

love

Or

may-

be

for

a

mo-

ment

he

for-

got

who

he

was

Or

may-

be

this

kid

just

wan-

ted

to

be

hugged

What-

e-

ver

it

was.

I

know

it's

be-

cause

Su-

zy,

she

was

only

twe-

She

was

gi-

ven

the

world

with

e-

very

chance

to

ex-

cel

Hang

with

the

boys

and

hear

the

sto-

ries

they

tell

She

might

act

kind

of

proud,

but

no

res-

pect

for

her-

self

She

finds

love

in

all

the

wrong

pla-

ces

The

same

si-

tu-

Changed

up

her

John-

ny

boy

al-

ways

played

the

fool

He

broke

all

the

rules,

so

you

would

think

he

was

cool

He

was

ne-

ver

real-

ly

one

of

the

guys

No

mat-

ter

how

hard

he

tried

often

thought

of

su-

i-

cide

It's

kind

of

hard

when

you

ain't

got

no

friends

He

put

his

life

to

an

end.

They

might

re-

mem-

ber

him

then

You

cross

the

line

and

there's

no

tur-

ning

back

Told

the

world

how

he

felt

with

the

sound

of

a

No

mat-

say

it

don't

take

a-

the

pain

That

I

feel

in-

side,

I'm

tired

of

all

the

lies

Don't

no-

bo-

know

why.

It's

the

blind

lea-

the

I guess

that's

the

way

the

sto-

goes

Will

it

e-

make

sense?

Some-

bo-

got

to

know

There's

got

to

be

more

to

life

than

this

There's
