Taxes Lyrics

I didn't want to break his hope, you can't just shut that down

I didn't want to break his hope

We never had that conversation

A little bit of denial, is a natural reaction

But he was almost numb to it, I don't think he was taking it in

He was still talking about it, like it was just some passing thing

He'd still talk about doing his taxes, like somehow he'd still be hanging in

I didn't want to break his hope, you can't just shut that down

I didn't want to break his hope

We never had that conversation

He was still talking like that, even at the hospice

Like he'd be around to do his taxes, like somehow he was going to live

I knew it was not like that and yeah it was hard to hear

But if he had accepted it, I don't think it would been easier

I didn't want to break his hope, you can't just shut that down

I didn't want to break his hope

We never had that conversation

In the end, I think he knew

The last time we saw each other

There was no goodbye

But he told me to look after my brother
