I've shed a lot of water over you
I never wanted to watch you die
I had love and farewell in my lungs, but then the light left your eyes
How does one prepare for an out of body experience?
How does one prepare for this?
I replay that last week with you over and over in my head
I watched you survive when others would surely die
I thought of the days when everything was vibrant
And yet, I do not have a vivid memory of you healthy
You never complained
And I truly think you were in control the entire time
You were never afraid of death, it was inevitable
Cuz life is temporary
Now I only dream of you
You haunt me in my sleep
But you're not dreaming anymore, I know
Empty eyes can't see me
I know
I've never been afraid to cry, and I'm crying more than I'd like to admit
Better days will come but I don't feel any closer to you here
How does one prepare for this?
How does one prepare for this?
I was wrong when I said I'd be over this by morning
I was wrong
There's not enough of me to go around these days
I was wrong
I was wrong
I can be vulnerable, I can be a lot of things
I feel your pain today
I still feel you inside of our godawful house
But I don't feel any closer to you
And I guess if there's one thing I regret
It's how selfish I had been all those years
Only thought of myself when I had years to prepare for a loss like this
No one envies this, no one envies me
No one envies this, no one envies me
I must forgive myself and be proud I'm still here
Carrying on your memory
Carrying on your memory
You weren't perfect but you were there for me
You weren't perfect but you were there for me
How does one prepare for an out of body experience?
How does one prepare for this?
How does one prepare for this?
How does one prepare for an out of body experience?
How does one prepare for this?
How does one prepare for this?
Your bones were done for, we left you alone
You finally let go, you finally let go
I don't feel any closer to you here
