It was hot that night
and I couldn't sleep
I prayed to the Lord
for my soul to keep
Tossing and turning
the memories in my mind
we're churning
Memories of how it used to be
when we we're together
and you said that you loved me
Then I felt it
that same old pain
I cried out "Don't leave me baby"
and I called out your name
Like so many times
I had done so before
after you shut me out of your life
like slamming a door
Then I felt another pain
but this was not like the rest
This pain came from deep inside me
way down in my chest
I felt it moving
like bees in a swarm
up through my chest
then down my left arm
The hot humid air
now seemed so thick
I tried to sit up
but it just made me sick
I knew I was about to die
in that place
and I never again
would see your beautiful face
I lay there in pain
with no one to care
and the sweet scent of RED
filled up the air
Then in an instant
the sweet scent was gone
and I felt my life sip away
sad and alone
I always knew it would
end that way
and baby I finally stopped loving you
that day
