Dear Pat

Where are you going, and how long you going for?
Where I’m going they can’t hurt me anymore
Don’t wait up tonight, please don’t hold our breath
As far as I’m concerned, I’m already dead
Don’t you dare go off alone I’m coming too

Pat, you need me just as much as I need you
You said you just want to be by yourself
And all I ever wanted to do was help,
If that’s so wrong damn me to hell
If this is really what you want, then
I’m going tie our hands together
So I can hold your hand as we both
Sink to the bottom of this river

I’ll always remember the look on
Your face when you told me you loved me
I’ll never forget the time when
You said I’m the reason you’re smiling
I have a picture of you at the bottom of my drawer,
It takes every part of me not to stare it at anymore

Where are you going, and how long you going for?
“Mitch, you saved my life and I hope that I changed yours,
They sent my home just last week
Telling me that I’ve just won the war”
