You Never Know

Even though he was angry, he briefly kissed her face
He go so mad, slammed the door and lef in such haste
She couldn't believe she let him walk away & leave like that
Looking by the bed, it was there, she saw his fitted hat
Running out the door, she tried to catch him as he pulled out the drive
As he pushed the gas pedal down harder, he didn't care if he was alive
Her hands up in the air like, 'Why does he have to be such an ass?'
Him hitting the highway with his best friend being his foot on the gas

It got blown out of proportion real quickly & over such a small thing
Little did she know as he sped away, in his pocket he had a ring
That night he was to ask her to become his Princess, his wife
Yes, that very night they were going to start a brand new life
With the speakers blaring & him rapping along to Lil' Wayne
How did such an awesome occasion become so full of pain?

The breeze blew through the window, he had finally started to calm down
Tears fell down his face, but now he was laughing, there was no more frown
Typed out a couple of words as he rapped along to his favorite song
Such a sweet message, but he looked at the screen just a little too long
Ran off the road going 75 and saw his life flash before his very eyes
How could he treat her like that, how could he believe the devil's lies?

But it was too late, the windshield shattered as he was thrown from the car
As she laid on the bed, she heard sirens & an ambulance from afar
They found his lifeless blodied body, they knew he was young, it was so hard to see
& several feet away, they found these words on his phone, "I'm sorry. I love you! Will you please marry me?'
