I have been viciously left behind
I have been furiously abandoned by you
Forgive me I am not strong like them
I sang over your dead body and watched you enter the ground
I am terrified to go back and sit at your table or stand over your grave
Forgive me I can’t take good from this
Tell me this isn’t real
Tell me you’re not gone
I’ll wake up in the morning and you’ll treat me like a friend
Tell me this isn’t real
Tell me you’re not gone
You’ll open up your arms and you’ll greet me as your friend
I’ve never so badly oh in all my life needed to hear your voice
I’ve never so badly oh in all my life needed to see that smile
Tell me this isn’t real
Tell me you’re not gone
I’ll wake up in the morning and you’ll treat me like a friend
Tell me this isn’t real
Tell me you’re not gone
You’ll open up your arms and you’ll greet me as your friend
Wish I could say
Put the bottle down
Get the gun away
Go home
I looked up to you
I looked up to you
I looked up to you
I looked up to...
You were always good enough
I just wish you would have known.
Tell me this isn’t real
Tell me you’re not gone
I’ll wake up in the morning and you’ll treat me like a friend
Tell me this isn’t real
Tell me you’re not gone
You’ll open up your arms and you’ll greet me as your friend
