It made me nervous, laugh, and I’m so very sorry,
That day you told me enough was enough
The tears rolled down my face and you were cold and as you called time of death
That was when I felt the last warm beat of life as I knew it, drew icy breath

Paint a thought for me, a world where everything is right
Describe for me, each and every time I could be better
Teach me all the things I wish I could have known
Let’s pretend I can learn and live life to the ******* letter

It left me floating in my mind, the empty life I’d left behind
Heart pummeling at 30,000 miles an hour
And all I could love was sky
The minute you said goodbye
There were kinder quicker ways for me to die

I hate goodbye, it burns a bridge, and **** the whole world and all it thinks
But you were the centre of the world
If nothing else then raise that girl and teach her not to hide
I want my girl to know exactly when to fight
If only I could show her how to ruin lives so she won’t

Being late is bad enough but being gone is a life you can’t recover
Going missing is unfair and unforgivable, yet, there
Still on the horizon, like the setting blood red sun
Is the unmistakable parent, the one that doesn’t need a gun

Calm and cool and to collect my child is the only thing worthwhile
For to see her happy with me, to see her smile
Is worth a thousand memories and each and every one I’d trade
To make amends for all the past mistakes I made
