The Way Some People Die

It wasnt it more than a minute
 That first one was the test
 He was listening but i dont think he heard the rest
 It was easy to fall, but not easy to take a stand
 With the sound of her voice or the touch of her hand
 Everyones heard the reasons why
 A kid would let the poison creep inside
 He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied
 The way some people die
 He doesnt think of tomorrow
 and he seldom looks back
 When he did he saw failure
 and a future so black
 So, he sees himself through sad eyes
 That have never caught the look of love
 He'll never see what hes giving up
 Everyones heard the reasons why
 A kid would let the poison creep inside
 He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied
 The way some people die
 You might think hes a victim
 He just thinks its a guess
 Its not the question, its who you ask
 and the boats fly on friday
 and you're never gonna see him again
 It wasn't love that did him in
 Everyones heard the reasons why
 A kid would let the poison creep inside
 He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied
 The way some people die
