Until I Almost Died

I never knew the color of your eyes
I never cared because i was so high
All the money's gone, but i can sing a song
And i never thought i had a pretty voice until i almost died
I never told you what i really felt
I didn't think i deserved to ask for your help
But you never left my dreams
And to sleep was peace
When my body gave out it was so, so weak
Until i almost died
Keep the violins away
That was yesterday
Seeing a reason in a heavy hand to keep me awake
A slap or a break
The kind of love that becomes hate
Now little things don't mean a lot
And mistakes i can forget
I can start again
I never could, until i almost died
