I ALMOST LOST YOU TODAY
ONE MOMENT YOU WERE HERE
WHERE I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU'D BE
THEN YOU STOPPED BREATHING.

MY WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
IN JUST A HEARTBEAT OF TIME
IN PANIC I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO
I JUST CAN'T TAKE YOUR LEAVING.

I THOUGHT I WAS RESIGNED
THAT MY HEART COULD LET GO
BUT NO I'M NOT READY YET
YOU'RE PART OF MY SOUL.
My Mother is dying and she stopped breathing today. She has decided to die at home BUT GOD I'M NOT READY!
