She had a mouth full of metal

Spent her nights running from horses

and riding her days after dreams

She was addicted to the obscene

She was her own girl

She didn't need anything

She had a spring in her step

And a sparkle in her eyes

With hair like wildfire

She had them lined up for miles

But I could see.

See right through everything.

I could see the strain in her smile

The bleak in her eyes

The ice in her heart

And the cracks in her life

She was a supernova

Bright on the outside

Falling to pieces on the inside.

Imperfectly picture perfect

She hid away her scars

Gathered from failures and hidden flaws

She was a supernova

Ready to blow

Why didn't I reach out I'll never know

I could've saved her before it was too late

But now we'll never know

Cause just the other day

They found her lying still

Bloodly pill bottles scattered across the floor

Death by slit wrists and overdose

She was a supernova

A star in my eyes

But now she's dead

And at her funeral

I asked myself "how could I be so blind?"

And as they buried her I could feel the guilt eat me alive

And as I tighten this rope about my neck

I've just one request

Bury me next to my supernova

So I can apologize in the afterlife.
