| I haven’t been avoiding you, don’t think that I don’t care
|
| I just can’t seem to bring myself, knowing you’re not there
|
| I go into each and every year, with heavy hearts and shaking hands
|
| A feeling in my gut comes back, with thoughts that I can’t stand
|
| You’re the reason I still stand up straight, you help to keep my head high
|
| I know that I’ll see you again someday, for now I’ll look up at the sky
|
| These markings on my chest are for the angel on my shoulder
|
| I try to tell myself, it’s just the pain of getting older
|
| I know it’s not my place to say, I’m sorry
|
| Nothing I could say would make this change, or go away
|
| But I hope I still have time left, to let you know
|
| Everything that I’ve done, is because of you
|
| I know that deep inside my heart, you were content
|
| And I hope you’re catching up on years, that you lost with your daughter
|
| I can’t help but be so selfish, because I wish you were here
|
| And the best way to move on from this, is to celebrate all your years
|
| If I could pump my blood in to your veins, id take the air right from my lungs
|
| I’d do anything, to get rid of the pain
|
| And it’s taking everything, to hold my tongue
|
| Cause heaven knows, id love to burn it down
|
| And if I could speak to god, I’d give him hell
|
| Like the kind he put in your life, he’s the reason we can’t sleep at night
|
| He’s the reason we can’t, sleep at night |
