Lyrics
Fifteen minutes- that’s all you needed
Fifteen minutes- why couldn’t you wait
Fifteen minutes- to change the story
Fifteen minutes- and I wouldn’t be too late
What were you thinking? When you looked down
What were you thinking- it was her corpse on the ground?
If you’d come to me, I’ld have freed you with the truth
But no. You drank the poison. There is no thinking with youth
Why did I have to interfere
I should have sent you both back home
I should have spoken to your parents
The fault is all my own
So now I stand above you
Your blood is on my hands
What was I thinking of
Why couldn’t you just understand?
Fifteen minutes- that’s all you needed
Fifteen minutes- why couldn’t you wait
Fifteen minutes- to save your lives just
Fifteen minutes- and I wouldn’t be too late
What were you thinking? When you awoke
To see him breathless, already growing cold
You should have waited, and not reached for his knife
What were you thinking? When you threw away your life.
