sirens

this has been harder than anyone knows

haunted by your imperfect ghosts

you didn't deserve to leave this world as you did

you two were just little kids

he'll pay for what he's done

should've never picked up that gun

he was always a troubled man

driving around in that white van

he lured you two off your bikes

led you through the darkest night

and if i could get my hands on him

God, forgive me for this sin

i can still hear the sirens as i sleep

i can remember your father's scream

as they took you and jane out of that lake

on that God awful night in may

i had to divert my attention

cause looking wasn't my intention

how could someone do such a thing?

he told police he wasn't thinking

we buried you both side by side

just like how you both died

no one knows the grief i harvest

feels like i'm being held back by a harness

i should've told you both to stay home

should've told you both no

you shouldn't of been by yourselves

i will never stop giving myself hell

i can still hear the sirens as i sleep

i can remember your father's scream

as they took you and jane out of that lake

on that God awful night in may

gavin lee james was that bastards name

threw him in jail that very day

we all screamed and cursed

it should've been him in that hearse

what an adjustment this has been

we love the both of you always

he'll get what he deserves

and oh how it'll hurt

i can still hear the sirens as i sleep

i can remember your father's scream

as they took you and jane out of that lake

on that God awful night in may
