Thirty years separate our lives If she was here, she'd be forty-five Sometimes I lay awake at night The tears I try to fight But I have never won The tears, they always come I didn't even know what was going on Just one day she was all of a sudden gone And no matter how hard I try I don't even remember saying goodbye I had only taken thirty-six million deep breaths By the time of her unseen death I never had a chance to say goodbye It hurts me everyday, so much that sometimes I cry When you go home share your love with your mom Because you never know when she will be gone

Thirty-Six Million Breaths
Thirty years separate our lives If she was here, she'd be forty-five Sometimes I lay awake at night The tears I try to fight But I have never won The tears, they always come I didn't even know what was going on Just one day she was all of a sudden gone And no matter how hard I try I don't even remember saying goodbye I had only taken thirty-six million deep breaths By the time of her unseen death I never had a chance to say goodbye It hurts me everyday, so much that sometimes I cry When you go home share your love with your mom Because you never know when she will be gone
