In the Name of Love
Today she walked out the door
Leaving me hear to cry
Nothing left to live for
I might as well curl up and die
I turn off the television
Put down the remote
Pick up my pen
And write her this note
I love her so much
She’s all I’ve ever known
But now that she’s left me
Again I’m all alone
And I’m lying in bed
It’s a quarter past three
There’s not a soul in the world
That could possibly comfort me
And I’m still by myself
At a quarter to five
Life’s not worth living anymore
Got no reason to survive
So I go to the store
Buy myself a gun
I’ve made up my mind
I’m through; I’m done
I work up the courage; pull the trigger
As my body hits the floor
I guess it’s all over now
This time I’ve lost the war
Take one look
At the blood-stained wall
How times change so fast
Anymore I’m not standing so tall
But what a mistake
To bring my life to an end
Maybe it would’ve been different
If someone would’ve had a helping hand to lend
But you can’t change the past
And so it was all said and done
When I pulled the trigger
On that infamous gun
So please remember—In the Name of Love
I wrote this rhyme
And In the Name of Love
I wrote for the very last time
