He packed his bags and never looked back, so they say.
But his little girl remembers it differently.

Did you know that she prayed everyday for you to come home?
Did you know she would stay up late and wait for you to walk through the door?
Did you know she still believes in you?
Did you know?

Her mother told her he was never coming home,
But she still had hope even four years down the road.
She's still waiting....

Did you know that she prayed everyday for you to come home?
Did you know she would stay up late and wait for you to walk through the door?
Did you know she still believes in you?
Did you know?

She no longer asks when daddy's coming home.
Now she wonders why he choose to go...

When it rains, it pours down on this life of mine.
I was lost and you found me,
All broken inside.
It wont be the first time that I wish she were here.
And it wont be the last time I scream and no one hears.

As my eyes grow heavy, sleep will surly come.

Let’s sing the songs of angels as I lay my body down.
And my mind will dream of only good things.
Sleeping without a sound.

Lord, lay me down to sleep.
If I die before I wake.
I pray my soul you’ll take.
And let those I leave behind,
See the light in the darkness,
Feel peace at night when they rest their heads.
Dream of only good things.

Let the sunshine on the day they lay me to rest,
Let the beauty of the world make them feel less.

And let's sing the songs of angels as I lay my body down.
And my mind will dream of only good things.
As I go without a sound.

Please don't give up on the sound of goodbye.
Let me know that you're leaving so I don't cry.

If you don't love me, just go right now.
Stop playing your games, thinking I can take it somehow.
At least tell me the truth, so I don't have to pretend that I'm OK.

Please don't give up on the sound of goodbye.
Let me know that you're leaving so I don't cry.

When you close the door it won't open again.
If this love isn't real then I'll seal my heart from you.

Peel back the layers of what went wrong.
Was it ever right at all?

Please don't give up on the sound of goodbye.
Let me know that you're leaving so I don't cry.

I'll know it's not my fault, but yours.
You are the one who choose to walk out the door.

I know the secrets you keep locked inside.
The tears, the pain, all the lies.
And when I think you’ll let me in.
I realize you’re not alive.

Of all the things I thought were true.
I thought I could be with you.
Now I see the truth,
You’re not alive.

You’ve died so much inside.
You think you have to hide.
And when I think you’ll let me in.
I realize you’re not alive.

You’re died inside.
I’ve tried to find what you hide inside.
Full of lies.
But you’re not alive.

Often I wonder if you even know my name.

Or am I just someone you bring in from the rain?

Sometimes I speak and you don’t hear me.

And it breaks my heart wondering if it’s worth having a voice.

Am I given a choice?

To choose to live without you,

Or live a fake life.

The choice is clear but harder than you think.

I’ve lived so long with you.

That our end can’t possibly be here.

How could you be so blind to me?

How could you not realize that I was bleeding?

How could you be so cold?

How could you not know?

That I love you.

How can you blame me for being who I am?

To try to strip me of all I am.

As I fall down, the darkness pulls me under.
Trying to drown, me in this crazy sea.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

I can't see the light, at the end of the tunnel.
Going under, the darkness pulls me down.
Fighting just to remember, life before,
I lost myself.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

I'm losing this battle, with my soul.
Trying to fight for this freedom,
That I can't hold.

Flashes of lightning, sounds of thunder.
I have to wonder, why did this happen to you?

What did I do?
To cause the love to shatter,
Like broken glass we scatter.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

Words can't say how sorry I am.
To go back and change it again.
But I can't change who I am.

Fighting hard to stay sober,
As my blood runs colder.
The future is open and closed.
I just pray I have hope.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.
