...and Life Was Great

And Life Was Great
 But it all Left So Soon
 And It's too Late
 For Everyone is Gone
 A struggle to go one step
 A fight to take one breath
 All a war inside
 The Cannons blaze on through
 What If I change the tide?
 What if i go instead?
 It said there was no feeling
 It said there was hope
 The note was hard to read
 The paper was thin
 and his handwriting grim
 But from the look of it this was no ordinary note
 All these things that eat at me
 All these things never go away
 Life was great and now its done
 He only needed your sympathy
 A hint of compassion
 But there was none
 He only needed your affection
 But there was none
 The remnants stain the walls
 You can't bare to look
 Reality sets in
