Butch Walker Thank-you Note Lyrics

As she woke up for the final injection
The sickness was hard
When there was no one around
And it spread to her hands
And it spread to her legs
And they felt like the mud from the pond on the ground
that she played in as a kid
What she did to deserve this
While her friends were at parties
She was on the floor, with a mixture of blood
Sweat and tears by her head
That's when she said, can I be dead?
Yeah I've heard that before

So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you

Just hung the painting that we found of London
I never saw the beauty of that city before
As it sat in our basement next to board games and year books
With a faint smell of must, dust and dog food on the floor

So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you

Seven hours till the moon sleeps
I lose my mind as I drive away
Your cigarettes are in the back seat
I cant bring myself to throw away

All of the film from the camera that took
All the pictures of the images in my mind

So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone
Then you wont have to feel torn

Pass the churches full of guilted faith
They send there hangovers from last night
It won't do me any good to pray, cause even god knows
that you were right

And I was wrong but yeah it kills me
that my kid will never know me, with another man by his side

So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone
Then you wont have to feel torn

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone

You wont have to feel torn
Have to feel torn

Thinking of you with my last breath
