I&#039;ve never told a lie and that makes me a liar, I&#039;ve never made a bet but we gamble with desire, I&#039;ve never lit a match with intent to start a fire but recently the flames are getting out of control<br /> - All Time Low: Jasey Rae


It's the twenty-fifth of May
And I've placed another rose on your grave today
I think of you often
I remember the day I stared at your coffin
The American flag placed over your casket
People brought flowers to you in a basket
You died for them, you died for me
So many things you've yet to see
With all you've done
Your life had just begun
I miss seeing your face
And feeling your warm embrace
When I think of you I cry
Wondering why YOU had to die
