An Open Letter to a Closed Casket Lyrics

Standing by your hospital bed

I just wanted you to open your eyes

Grab my hand and say that I'll be ok

I don't know how I'll make it without you

And I hope that

That I can make it through the week

Before I hit the bottle and, and I drink myself to sleep

18 long months

I watched you slowly fade away

But I wouldn't be there to see you to your grave

The silence

It haunts me

You were greater than I've ever known

The darkness

Where you sleep

You're still greater than I've ever known

And I need to

Just know that I can find some peace

You were always there to listen

When I couldn't fall asleep

I miss you so bad

I drink most every day of the week

I just want to hear you say I'll be ok

The silence

It haunts me

You were greater than I've ever known

The darkness

Where you sleep

You're still greater than I've ever known

And I know if you could see me now I'd make you proud

I have a son

I have a home

I'll carry your name til I'm gone

The silence

It haunts me

You were greater than I've ever known

The darkness

Where you sleep

You're still greater than I've ever known
