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
