2012 Demo, First Take

lyrics

I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE

I got the news from a phone call in the afternoon
She said it's an emergency, call your sisters
I waited as you walked through the door in tears
You said your dad is going to die, his only got one year

We went down to see you in the hospital room
The same place they had delivered you the news
We sat around in silence until they started to cry
I looked straight at you and just wondered why?

What must you be feeling in this moment?
What right do I have to cry?
You are the one whose not choosing to die
but they're taking you from our side

Days went by and things were not fine
Something was creeping around time
Within one day, you started to disappear
I saw the pain you felt to still be here

Then only 3 months, it was too late
To find all the right words to translate
I walked down the pink and white corridors to reach you
Knowing this could be the last time

I had to say goodbye
I didn't want you to die
When you know most of me did
I had to say goodbye
but despite how I try
You know I never will

I held your hand for three nights straight
Watching as you deteriorate
Hoping that you won't suffer soon
but I don't want to lose you

I can see you're going somewhere else
The blood starts to rise
I rush to your side
and watch as you leave us behind

I had to say goodbye
I looked right into your eyes
and watched as you died
I had to say goodbye
I looked up into the sky
and watched my world disappear

So many faces at your crematorial
I'd held your hand and it was so cold
and kissed your dead cheek
My head hanging down as I walked away numbly

Hours or was it days or months rolled by
There's nothing left that you would recognise
The world moved on around me
As if I'd travelled forward in time

I had to say goodbye
I couldn't even cry
You know they would never let me
I had to say goodbye
For the last time
It was the end to my family
