I just don’t want to say goodbye
Just thinking about it makes me cry
The order’s reversed, the times all wrong
I still think of you when I hear that song
“It’s just not fair,” I cried to God
“I’ll trade his place,” I yelled with a nod
Yet all was quiet, too quiet you see
You still weren’t back down here with me
“He can’t be gone” “he’s just a boy”
“He was filled with life, with love, with joy”
It’s still too quiet without you here
This silence fills my heart with fear
It’s pushing me to say goodbye
I’m not sure I can, I don’t want to try
Your face, your laugh it’s still so strong
I sit on your bed and pretend you’re not gone
If I close my eyes and breath in deep
I can still kiss your forehead and watch you sleep
You’re still my baby, you’ll always be
That will never ever change for me
The words remain as a lump in my throat
Remaining quiet is what keeps me afloat
Losing a child is just so wrong
I still think of you when I hear that song
Just thinking about it makes me cry
I just don’t want to say goodbye…
