Lullabies

Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye — it could be for the last time and it’s not
right.
«Don't let yourself get in over your head,"he said.
Alone and far from home we’ll find you…
Dead — Like a candle you burned out;
spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words.
Scream — To be heard, like you needed any more attention;
throw the bottle, break the door, and disappear.
Sing me to sleep, I’ll see you in my dreams, waiting to say, «I miss you.
I’m so sorry.»
Forever’s never seemed so long as when you’re not around it’s like a piece of me is missing.
I could have learned so much from you but what’s left now?
Don’t you realize you brought this family a world of pain?
Can’t you see there could have been a happy ending we let go?
Sing me to sleep, I’ll see you in my dreams, waiting to say, «I miss you.
I’m so sorry.»
Sing me to sleep (You've taken so much with you…)
I’ll see you in my dreams, (But left the worst with me…),
waiting to say, «I miss you. I’m so sorry.»
