Paroles
When I go to meet God I’m gonna have to be honest…
I’m gonna have to tell the truth: not a day went by that I didn’t doubt you.
You always said, «Don't grow up too fast, you’re just a boy», but it’s better to be in the house
of sorrow than the house of joy,
and if I could have a heart like David, that resembles yours, then what are the
odds Solomon’s sadness might have creeped in somewhere to even the score?
Dear Dad, do you remember when I was always sad?
You and mom called it my «depressed year,» and I know it was pretty bad.
What drives a child to want to give up everything he has?
What makes a person think that?
What makes a mother’s son decide that death is better than tomorrow?
Inside of each and every breath that I «borrowed» I held onto the sorrow and
thought: «I'll never be able to repay Jesus with the way I live»
and now I’m thinking so much that I’ve screwed everything up and I don’t even
know if you exist, so I may as well not exist.
So when I come to meet you I’m gonna have to be honest.
I’m going to tell the truth: not one day has gone by that I haven’t doubted you.
But I never told you both that I almost killed myself.
I did.
I almost drove my car right off that highway bridge, and as I picked up pace,
prayed to God that he’d forgive me if I went through with it: this is not a
life worth living,
I’ve already ruined it!
Mom, dad, sister, friends, family — if I never see you again I hope you live
out your lives happily.
Give my dog a kiss of the lips and all of my writings go to Isaac — man,
the one’s about me and you are not meant to be kept in private.
Make them your own and write your songs to inspire the world the way I wish
that I did…
Sister, you’re beautiful, don’t ever let them take that away.
Don’t let yourself become just another face with no name.
Get to know Isaac better, you two can collaborate (your voice is more beautiful
than his has ever been, anyway).
Mom, I’m sorry the last time we talked, we fought…
I’m just so sick of pretending to be somebody I’m not.
And years down the line when I am all but forgot, you were my last thought.
And to finish the note before I get up to go, dad, I’m sorry I kept all this
pain inside — this will hurt you more than anyone else.
When I breathe my last I will pray that you can forget your past in all of this
and try not to blame yourself…
I tried to find a reason to stay alive!
I love you all so much…
goodbye.
God I’m coming to meet you now!
I suppose this decision doesn’t display much trust, but if you are real and
really out there then make me feel like I’m talking to something more than the
ceiling!
Dear mom, I’m getting better at writing happier things —
I know you’ll never understand it but I’m attached to the sadness and it rings
true when I sing, and there’s a little bit of healing inside all of our
suffering,
as I have a savior that took up my suffering for me.
And as I drove down I-40 to collide with 25,
I swear to God something forgotten came alive to me inside, and this little
memory sparked a reason to risk life one more night: on christmas morning I
don’t want my sister to wake up without her brother by her side!
TEAR ME TO PIECES, MY SWEET SUICIDE!
For to die is gain, and to live is Christ so I will make you the apple of my
eye…
When I come to meet You, I’m going to come complete, as You have completed me.
I’m going to come whole and I am begging to come happy.
Traduction des paroles
Apprenez à mieux connaître Isaac, vous deux pouvez collaborer (votre voix est plus belle
que le sien n'a jamais été, de toute façon).
Maman, je suis désolé la dernière fois qu'on a parlé, on s'est disputés…
J'en ai marre de faire semblant d'être quelqu'un que je ne suis pas.
Et des années plus tard, quand je suis presque oublié, vous étiez ma dernière pensée.
Et pour finir le mot avant que je me lève, papa, je suis désolé d'avoir gardé tout ça
douleur à l'intérieur — cela vous blessera plus que quiconque.
Quand je respirerai mon dernier je prierai pour que vous puissiez oublier votre passé dans tout cela
et essayez de ne pas vous blâmer…
J'ai essayé de trouver une raison de rester en vie!
Je vous aime tous tellement…
À la revoyure.
Mon Dieu, je viens te rencontrer maintenant!
Je suppose que cette décision n'affiche pas beaucoup de confiance, mais si vous êtes réel et
vraiment là bas alors me faire sentir comme je parle à quelque chose de plus que le
plafond!
Chère maman, je m'améliore à écrire des choses plus heureuses —
Je sais que vous ne le comprendrez jamais mais je suis attaché à la tristesse et ça sonne
c'est vrai quand je chante, et il y a un peu de guérison à l'intérieur de tout notre
souffrance,
comme j'ai un sauveur qui a pris ma souffrance pour moi.
Et comme je roulais vers le bas I-40 pour entrer en collision avec 25,
Je jure devant Dieu que quelque chose d'oublié m'est venu en vie à l'intérieur, et ce petit
la mémoire a suscité une raison de risquer la vie une nuit de plus: le matin de Noël, je
Je ne veux pas que ma sœur se réveille sans son frère à ses côtés!
LARME M'EN MORCEAUX, MON DOUX SUICIDE!
Car mourir est un gain, et vivre est Christ, ainsi je te ferai la prunelle de mon
oeil…
Quand je viendrai vous rencontrer, je viendrai complet, comme vous m'avez achevé.
Je vais venir entier et je supplie de venir heureux.
