It was in the march of the winter I turned seventeen
  That I bought those pills
  I thought I would need
  And I wrote a letter to my family
  Said it's not your fault
  And you've been good to me
  Just lately I've been feeling
  Like I don't belong
  Like the ground's not mine to walk upon
  And I've heard that music
  Echo through the house
  Where my grandmother drank
  By herself
  And I sat watching a flower
  As it was withering
  I was embarrassed by its honesty
  So I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
  Not this fucking wreck
  That's taken its place
    So please forgive what I have done
  No you can't stay mad at the setting sun
  Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually
  There is nothing left to do but sleep
    But spring came bearing sunlight
  Those persuasive rays
  So I gave myself a few more days
  My salvation it came, quite suddenly
  When Justin spoke very plainly
  He said "Of course it's your decision,
  But just so you know,
  If you decide to leave,
  Soon I will follow"
    I wrote this for a baby
  Who has yet to be born
  My brother's first child
  I hope that womb's not too warm
  Cause it's cold out here
  And it'll be quite a shock
  To breathe this air
  To discover loss
  So I'd like to make some changes
  Before you arive
  So when your new eyes meet mine
  They won't see no lies
  Just love.
  Just love.
    I will be pure
  No, no, I know i will be pure
  Like snow, like gold
