Humble Servant Lyrics

And on that day in early May

I caught your eye and you looked away

But I knew every word you weren't gonna say

So we pretended it was fine

Careful not to snag the oxygen line

That kept you alive for another day

Just hold on the kids are on their way

And I wish that you had told the truth

And trusted me to honor you

The way I always tried to then

But you were always one for telling lies

And never good at tough goodbyes

So I guess in that way it was a fitting end

I wish that I could see you again

But no more stories it's time for lights out

And I can't remember what your last one was about

And I tried to ask you but the words caught in my mouth

And now it's haunting me

And my mother said it's for the best

The most tortured man can finally rest

But there's no comfort knowing that she's right

I didn't go to sleep that night

Still too scared to turn off the light without you
