Sad ending! ! !

that night you left,
that night i cried,
that night my love,
was the day my heart died.

that night you returned,
that night i cried,
that night, that gun,
More than you're heart that died.

Newsflash

Guess what's on the news today
another young life wasted away
boy,16, shot in the chest
should everyone walk around in a bullet-proof vest?

Guess what's on the news today
another young life wasted away
girl,14, stabbed in the heart
teen death rates soaring off the charts

Guess what's on the news today
more lives have been wasted away
2 boys in their teens
unfulfilled, broken dreams

Guess whats on the news today
more and more people just turn away
hiding their faces from any spot of light
we all live in darkness, we all live with fright
