Remembered Quote by Skillet
“Hey Lucy, I remember your name I left a dozen roses on your grave today I'm in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away I just came to talk for a while I got some things I need to say Now that it's over, I just wanna hold her, I'd give up all the world to see, That little piece of heaven looking back at me; Now that it's over, I just wanna hold her; I've gotta live with the choices I made, And I can't live with myself today... Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday... They said it'd bring some closure to say your name; I know I'd do it all different if I had the chance, But all I got are these roses to give, And they can't help me make amends... Now that it's over, I just wanna hold her, I'd give up all the world to see, That little piece of heaven looking back at me; Now that it's over, I just wanna hold her; I've gotta live with the choices I made, And I can't live with myself today...”
