I wish the things that joe banks said Would have found their way to ed Then maybe we wouldn't have had to see you dead I think that was the worst to see ed dead They told me but i didn't wanna believe it But when i saw ed dead, seeing is believing Ed is dead-seeing is believing What joe banks said might help you when your grieving: "If you had a choice between killing yourself Or just doing what youre scared of doing Why not just take the leap get some help And just try what your scared of doing These teenage problems amount to inch in a lifetime The thought is, i'm never gonna see him again Things like this they just shouldn't be your business I wasn't in his shoes But i wish that today he was in his shoes.
