When I close my eyes
I can see you die
I see you take the last fatal blow
In the pain you're paralyzed
And there you lie
Your blood spattered on the ground
You take your final breath without a sound

When I close my eyes
I can feel remorse crash over me like a tidal wave
Because it took every ounce of my strength to be brave
To believe you would survive
You always did, every single time
You'd fight back
You promised me that

When I close my eyes
I can hear you calling my name
I swear I hear you say
"I'll be alright, love, I'll be okay"
Why didn't you stay?
I'm broken beyond repair
And you're the only one that cared

When I close my eyes
I can smell the flowers laid on your grave
There's the epitaph, written under your name
"A son, a father, and a friend
Gone but never forgotten"
You were my hold on reality
Without you, I've got nothing

When I close my eyes
I can taste the salty tears that fall like rain
The only way I can express my pain
You're still here
You've got to be
You promised me you'd stay alive
You promised me.

Just for today lets be quiet
Lets sit and listen to the wind
Just for today don't let me believe it
No, Not a funeral, Not again
Its too much for me to take
I cant handle it right now
I want just one day for heavens sake
But no, Get over it, Be happy, But how?
So, just for today lets be quiet
Lets sit and listen to the wind
Just today don't let me believe it
No, Not a funereal, Not again

He's gone now so I'm leaving
And just today
I'm just a being
So when you see my body there
Just know that
My mind ain't here
My body is home
But my mind is leaving
And just today
I'm just a being
