They Tell Me

They tell me to come back
But I won't
I won't fade into the black

They tell me he's gone
But I don't listen
I've been holding too long

They tell me to stop running
But they can't catch me
I'm too cunning

They tell me it's not worth the pain
But it is
I can still hear his voice when it rains

They tell me to slow down
But I can't
I'm still watching him drown

They tell me there was nothing I could do
But they're wrong
What they say isn't true

I jump
They can't stop me
I'll be seeing him soon
