SWEET OLD WORLD
By Lucinda Williams
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
The breath from your own lips,
The touch of fingertips,
A sweet and tender kiss,
The sound of a midnight train,
Wearing someone's ring,
Someone calling your name,
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm.
Didn't you think you were worth anything?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
Millions of us in love,
Promises made good,
Your own flesh and blood,
Looking for some truth,
Dancing with no shoes,
The beat, the rhythm of blues,
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one.
Didn't you think anyone loved you?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world?

“Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better.” – Unknown
“Anyone desperate enough for suicide should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.” – Richard Bach
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe
“Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”
“Place your hand over your heart, can you feel it? That is called purpose. You’re alive for a reason so don’t ever give up.” – Unknown
