Before I came back…
I'd never seen one as young as they brought in,
There was so much blood I didn't know where to begin.
He was my first one, with the worst yet to come…
I took off his boot horrified at what saw, his foot was
Gone, leaving a stump torn and raw- They said to get
his blood test 'STAT!' So I said I'd be right back…
I Said I'd be right back I'm not going to let you die,
But he faded away from my desperate cry…
I said, "I'm not going to let you down…"But now he's
Buried in the ground-
He died before I came back…
When I came back, he was as still as death, I chocked
back sobs when I couldn't find any breath. I can still hear
him plead, bagging me not to leave…
It was just a moment that I went away, I couldn't understand
why he wanted me to stay. I guess he know he would die, and
I guess that's why…
I said I'd be right back and I was right by his side,
But in the time I was gone he had already died.
He said he wanted to go home-I guess he is but he went
There alone-
He died before I came back…
Now when a boy comes in I see Jimmy's face, and
My heart just brakes till I spin out of place. Cuz the guilt's
Still so deep, and his cries haunt my sleep…
I Said I'd be right back I'm not going to let you die,
But he faded away from my desperate cry…
I said, "I'm not going to let you down…"But now he's
Buried in the ground-
He died before I came back…
You said you wanted to go home, I guess you are but
You there alone…
Because I never came back….
