Sad Songs II

So a while back I had a post about sad songs... today listening to my iPod I came across a song that I had forgotten about, though it certainly belongs at the top of the list. The song is Hayden's "When This Is Over" and is about... well I'll let you figure it out, its more heartbreaking that way.

This song will break you DOWN. I'm getting chills just writing this...

I suggest you download it, do a couple shots, and then cry your eyes out listening to it, but here are the lyrics to get you started.


When This is Over by Hayden

I wake up
Beside you, in mom's car
I try to get you out,
You're strapped to the backseat
I am too.

The car is rolling down to water.
Why are we
Strapped to our seats,
Trapped,
What did we do?
I cleaned my room just as she asked me to.

Filling up, dirty water,
My chin's up, going under.
You're still asleep, baby brother.
I'll wake you up when this is over.

The car is rolling down to water.
Why are we
Strapped to our seats,
Trapped,
What did we do?
I brushed my teeth just as she asked me to.

This is it, baby brother,
One more breath togther
We're almost underwater
Where is mom?
I miss her.

The car has rolled into the water.
Why are we dying in this way,
What did we do?

I was nice to him,
Her boyfriend, this is stupid
When people come to search the lake
We'll be found in our pajamas
They will see
A big mistake is all that this must be
