I listened to your words exploding in my headYou fired up 
my anger with the things you said
And now I'm running here with blood on my hands
All because my love didn't meet your demands
I couldn't take the pressure, kept looking for a way
To believe in the coming of a bright new day
I started hating everything I loved so much before
So by the time you read this letter
I will be no more
Please don't shed no tears
It would only be in vain
Took comfort in the thought there is an end to my pain
I hope you find somebody to brighten up your life
But sure, I'll come visit in the middle of the night
In case you hadn't noticed
I used your daddy's sword
The bravest thing I ever did in the face of the Lord
So please tell little David, when he gets back from camp
His daddy has to go away
I'm sure he'll understand
