Sadly now
All i really know how to do
Is close my eyes
And think of you
Of all the times
We triumphed and failed
I watched the life drain from you
As your corpse paled
I never thought
I'd watch love die
Or watch you breathe your last
Never thought I'd cry
Funerals are for the living
At least that's what I've heard
I was asked sweetly by you mother
If i could share a word
I have nothing to say to the living
When all my words died too
I'd rather be lying there
Lifeless next to you
And yet somehow
You live on
In simple things
Like memories, colors, the break of dawn
I love you
May never be enough
I spoke what i thought you needed
Sweet words when things got tough
But now you're dead and gone
But forever in my heart
You see you're the only one
Who could ever play that part.
