Clatters, Swells, and Tosses

A cold March night under stadium lights
And the school yard's swaying
A boy up high
A dot against the sky
The smell of it suffocating
A match still singing in the officer's eye
His partner is screaming for help
A desperate plea on P.S. one-three
As the boy offers life to hell

You were the one
You were the one
You were the one to break me, after all

His desperate plea is etched into me
His warm glow is over me now
His last words so cold, they were sixteen years old
When he offered his life to hell
Now he's livin' his life in hell

You were the one
You were the one
You were the one to break me, after all
You were the one
Don't be sad now son
There's nothing you could've done
To change me after all
After all
