One Less Heart To Break

Small town, just north of the city
There's a girl all alone by the window in need and she
She's thinking that this worlds too much to take
And they could use one less heart to break
She stares down at the world below
Fools herself to thinking she should just let go, I know
I wish she knew she wasn't so alone

She left us a letter to outline the facts
How she felt so alone like the world turned their backs
Her parents don't notice she's slipping away
She'd still be around if she just heard them say

It's the ups and downs of living life this way
Promise me you'll never go away
Just stay with me through one more night
Because it's always darkest before the light
And now I promise you I'll never turn away
I won't let you give us one less heart to break

Flash back to early that year
Between his home life and school he wished he'd just disappear, I know
He's thinking that this worlds too much to take
And they could use one less heart to break
Whole world comin' down on his back
He takes a bottle of pills and then he's finished with that, I know
I wish he wasn't so alone

He left us a letter to outline the facts
How he felt so alone like the world turned their backs
His parents don't notice he's slipping away
He'd still be around if he just heard them say

It's the ups and downs of living life this way
Promise me you'll never go away
Just stay with me through one more night
Because it's always darkest before the light
And now I promise you I'll never turn away
I won't let you give us one less heart to break
