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,
Shes thinking that this world's too much to take
And they could use one less heart to break.
She stares down at the world from 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 back
her parents dont notice her slipping away
she'd still be around if she just heard them say

its the ups and down of living life this way
promise me you'll never go away
just stay with me through one more night
because its always darkness before the light
and now ill promise you ill never go away
i wont let you give us one more heart to break

flashback to early that year
between his home life and school he wish 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 falling down on his back
he took a bottle of pills and hes 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
