The  day was so calm and so ordinary
 ‘Till you  climbed atop the library
 Sure  of what you thought that you had to do
 You looked  at the world with a bird’s eye view
 The day  was the day that you chose to die
 To breathe  the last breathe of your fleeting life
 Your decision  was made and it was final
Hiding  your pain behind a weakened smile
 So sure that this world was not fit for you
 The fast-approaching asphalt was your last view
 Your mother, your father, your sister,and brother
 Crushed by the news that they have discovered
 Wishing that they had just one more day with you
 They’d show you the world from a different view
 They’d talk you down from that high ledge
 And bring you back from your life’s edge
 Now dwelling on what they knew impossible
 They cry and they mourn for you at your funeral
 You’re lying six feet under a dozen roses
 You leave us to deal with what you have chosen.
 Every tall building that we walk past
 Turns our minds to your last act
 We dwell in this state with a lack of closure
 This is how we live now that your life is over

[E]The day was so calm and so ordinary
‘Till [Am]you climbed atop the library
S[Em]ure of what you thought that you had to do
You [C]looked at the world with a bird’s eye view
The [Dm]day was the day that you chose to die
To [Am]breathe the last breathe of your fleeting life
Your d[Em]ecision was made and it was final
[C]Hiding your pain  behind a weakened smile

So sure that this world was not fit for you
The fast-approaching asphalt was your last view
Your mother, your  father, your sister,and brother
Crushed by the news that they have discovered
Wishing that they had just one more day with you
They’d show you the world from a different view
They’d talk you down from that high ledge
And bring you back from your life’s edge

Now dwelling on what they knew impossible
They cry and they mourn for you at your funeral
You’re lying six feet under a dozen roses
You leave us to deal with what you have chosen.
Every tall building that we walk past
Turns our minds to your last act
We dwell in this state with a lack of closure
This is how we live now that your life is over
