Memoir Lyrics

I forgot to say goodbye when you called me on the phone that night

Mom forgot to unlock the door

She saw you sick as a dog on the floor

You forgot to check your health

Your body was in for a world of hell

We forgot to say goodnight when you fell to sleep and saw the light

And when you died

I wished I would be there by your side

I wish you the best

It's time to confront your life as it stands

Father

I see you in my dreams as a man who wanted to talk things through

You see me as your son

An equal to your heart

A feeling I never felt

You lie on the couch in pain

Your words tense up as I hold you close

I weep for your aching health as my eyelids wake with the sunlight

And if I died

I wanted you to be there by my side

I wish you the world

Grim steps up to you and guides your soul

Father

And if our God would happen to take things back where it was

I'd reach for your hand and make my amends to you again

Father
