lyrics

[Verse 1: Bodi]
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be waking up
Next to you and see your open eyes, smilin makin love
Guess it's true angels float from heaven, there's a god above
Blessings too many for one man to count, it's you who pulled me through
The darkest days and carved a way for me to paradise
And I used to think my life depended on a pair of dice
Or fate or chance or dance with lady luck and then I felt your touch
And brushed with greatness that we make with faith and trust inside our clutch
And every day the sun was shinin, proved to me I'm not an island
Smilin like a little kid who would've been just fine with dyin
Cause I would've already lived inside a dream
Wouldn't need to see what the after life brings
Every day and every hour, every minute, every second
Every thought and every heartbeat, every moment made me breathless
That all left without saying goodbye
This is what it feels like to wish that you'd die

[Verse 2: Bodi]
I arrived back home a day earlier than I was supposed to
Surprise and propose to you/With the ring in my pocket
Your car in the driveway, to the door, unlock it
Palms sweaty, got your parent's blessing
Fumblin over words and how I'd pop the question
True love, with no second-guessing
In sickness and in health, from the living to the restin
Came to when I called out your name
But didn't hear an answer, all I heard was laughter
In the bedroom, soft music played
Tip toeing up, the mistake that I made
Was believing you loved me, and opening the door
You and your ex, your clothes on the floor
My heart and my head and my world split in two
Put the ring in the trash and, you never knew…

[Verse 3: Bodi]
Fuck you, and everything you ever said
You never meant, heartless, I wonder if you've ever bled
Or if you've got a hole where your spirit’s supposed to go
Don't got a soul
And mouth full of coal
And lies white as snow
Guess hell must've froze
Over - so you had to escape
And crawl to this surface, to shatter my faith
In a disastrous way that there's a different fate
For love than our lives, but I guess it all ends…
You tried to make amends, but I didn't see the point
If you're a demon devil dancing, greatest trick, and made your choice
And your bed, sleep in it, but I hope you never dream
All I have are nightmares of buying you a wedding ring
I would gave you everything and made god blue
Karma's got a bite like déjà vu
But I never knew it would happen so soon
To you, I hope this burns like the summer sun in June
See when the two of you got back together
I thought about killing myself, but knew better
Than to end it like that, and I wanted revenge
And to make you look evil in front of your friends
But I got a better plan when I was getting coffee and
I saw your man was with another woman, they were holding hands
So I grabbed the camera on my phone and started taking pictures
Til they got up, I followed quiet as a whisper
To a house, he looked around, and they went inside
And started fucking in the bedroom and didn't close the blinds
Have you figured the surprise in the envelope?
Go ahead an open it, this letter that I wrote
Was to show you what it felt like when you went and broke
My chest and my hope, and now you'll feel it, too
And now you know the truth, and I know it hurts
And I apologize that you got what you deserve
