Until I Almost Died

                                  I never knew the color of your eyes

I never cared because I was so high

All the money's gone, but I can sing a song

And I never thought I had a pretty voice until I almost died



I never told you what I really felt

I didn't think I deserved to ask for your help

But you never left my dreams

And to sleep was peace



When my body gave out it was so, so weak

Until I almost died

Keep the violins away

That was yesterday



Seeing a reason in a heavy hand to keep me awake

A slap or a break

The kind of love that becomes hate

Now little things don't mean a lot



And mistakes I can forget

I can start again

I never could, until I almost died
