gone so soon Lyrics

Flying, back to my home state

Finals are next week, but

I just couldn't stay

The rockies below me,

Tears in my eyes, and

A prayer I can't make myself say

With your vitals dropping,

Mom says "just wait"

How could you be gone so soon,

I need you

With every day I wake,

I see you

And every step I take,

Every moment you miss,

I live for you

Through all of this, dad,

I miss you

"New normal"

But it's just not the same

Broken,

With something I can't replace

With an absence of laughter,

And a blanket of pain,

My life has forever been changed

As I look up toward heaven,

All I can say

How could you be gone so soon,

I still need you

With every day I wake,

I still see you

And every step I take,

Every moment you miss,

I live for you

Through all of this, dad,

I miss you

The mirror leaves a sting

With it's permanent scare

My face is your face,

With your smile and your heart

They're are bad punchlines to say

The cars still need fixed

An aisle we'll never walk down

Grandchildren to be kissed

These 3 years past swiftly

But there's so much you missed

I scream at God in anger with the

Balling of my fists

I collapse with my sadness,

The world a shade of blue

How am I supposed to grieve you

Longer than I knew you…

But

Selfish, to wish you'd come back

You're better now

You can sing you can laugh

Everyday I get older,

There's more I must shoulder, And one day I'll inherit your grey

As my life drags on without you, I'll always say

Yes, you were gone too soon,

I'll still need you

With every day I wake,

I'll still see you

And every step I take,

Every moment you'll miss,

I'll live for you

I love you, dad,

I miss you
