A Week

Lay the carnations down on the pavement I hope you know now that I need it savin' Watch me fall or push me off the edge I hope you know why, I don't see a difference Just because damage was already done Doesn't mean I should look down the barrel of a gun Even though my time was running out It wasn't your job to just sit and count down You let me burn to keep your house warm To keep your house warm You let me drown so you wouldn't wipe out So you wouldn't wipe out You will stand idly and say that you're consumed by grief Just give it a week, will you even remember me Just give it a week Please refrain from writing my eulogy I'm sure you can understand the irony They all watch as you extend your sympathy But where was it when I was living Just because damage was already done Doesn't mean I should look down the barrel of a gun Even though my time was running out It wasn't your job to just sit and count down You let me burn to keep your house warm To keep your house warm You let me drown so you wouldn't wipe out So you wouldn't wipe out You will stand idly and say that you're consumed by grief Just give it a week, will you even remember me Just give it a week
