My Goodbyes

Hey precious daddy, can you hear me now
From the lost and found?
Although you're six feet underground
In the mirror, I can see your face
Just another trace
Of all the tragedy you passed down

There are times
When I can hear your voice
It's just like my voice
And it still haunts me
When you come around

I feel like I wasted time
When I didn't have you on my mind
I feel like I'm all alone
How could I have known
You would leave me here alive?

Oh, my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where your are?
My God, I think I'm dying

Precious daddy, can you hold my hand
Like you did back then?
Can you forgive me of all my sins?
Come to me and take this pain away
'Cause its all I see
It would be heavenly to see you again

I feel like I wasted time
When I didn't have you on my mind
I feel like I'm all alone
How could I have known
You would leave my side?

It all was so simple then
When it all began and I was your smile
And now you're just words in stone
You're just dust and bones
And I'll join you there in time

Oh, my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where you are?
My God, I think I'm dying
Oh, my God, why can't you take it away
Or give me just one more day
Of just apologizing?

How could you take him from me?
It's like you spit in my face
I've got his grandson to raise
With no grandfather to say
Don't let him end up like me
'Cause he'll be down on his knees
Asking you where could I be
I wonder what you would say?

I feel like I wasted time
When I didn't have you on my mind
I feel like I'm all alone
How could I have known
You would leave my side?

It all was so simple then
When it all began and I was your smile
And now you're just words in stone
You're just dust and bones
And I'll join you there in time

Oh, my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where you are?
My God, I think I'm dying
Oh, my God, why can't you take it away
Or give me just one more day
Of just apologizing, of just apologizing?
