“Looking Down”


I am looking down from heaven way up above.
I am searching all around to find my true love.
I see her inside her house thinking about me.
She wonders if she was the one who made this be.

Her memories show my body lain on the ground.
She remembers hearing the police siren sound.
She sees the policeman with some chalk in his hand.
Then my body’s gone and the chalk shows where I land.

Knowing that I’m gone, she has no one to go to.
But she didn’t know that my love was very true.
She never thought that I would do this to myself.
Even though I did do this, she feels guilt herself.

He memories show me trying to talk to her.
Then I asked her out and she made me lonlier.
She made up some lame excuse to get rid of me.
But the promise I had made was something  unseen.

There I was out on the street; tears fell on the ground.
Then suddenly she heard the loud gun fire sound.
She thought about me then she peeked through the window.
There I laid on the ground, no sign of life was shown.

My devotion overpowered my will to live.
And the people who miss me, I really forgive
My one goal in life was to get some real love.
But now I’m stuck forever in heaven above.
