Nick was sick and I was being a prick,
but he taught me that someday the clock will quit its tick.
What could kill a thing like you?
Nick, your heart was filled with life, it was filled so full.
So many got close, and so many got hurt.
We never always knew what to do.
Though we never spoke, though your time has come,
I still made the joke, and I am still the one broke.
I fell in love with an ex,
And you were always there
Sitting on my lap, chewing dog toys,
representing a past that wasn't fair.
Did you die for me too?
Is there something to be learned?
We'll never understand a thing at all,
but the "better" place has called for you.
You were just 19 and felt grace.
Now I am 20, and I wonder how much longer
it'll be till we meet face to face.
Nick, why were you so sick?
And Nick, why was I being a prick?
