lyrics

It's just too hard to speak
You can't leave, I will be weak
I've followed my dreams
and swallowed my pride
Faced my fears and the rising tide
They tell me, you would be proud of me
But without you, I will never fall asleep
I can't let go,
I won't let go.
I will never fall asleep,

Will I live forever?
Do I have to stay alone at sea?
Can I join you where you are?
You'll never see what I can be
Will I die alone?
Can you please save me?
Father, I wish i could tell you one thing
You help me believe

They say the good die young
But I'd rather die at the end of a loaded gun
I can't let go,
I can't let you go
We will lose those we love
We will die not thinking of, those we leave behind
I'll keep you alive

Stay with me
Please don't leave
I'm dying here, without you
Now you're gone, guide me through
Stay with me
Please don't leave
me with these messes I have made,
You make me believe

Will I live forever?
Do I have to stay alone at sea?
Can I join you where you are?
You'll never see what I can be
Will I die alone?
Can you please save me?
Father, I wish i could tell you one thing
You help me believe

I wish you could see, the man I've grown to be
and everything I have accomplished
All the troubles I've overcome
A reflection of yourself
I've been walking between heaven and hell, pushing through
I've been walking, on my own two feet
And I want you to know,
This is for you

I never said goodnight
This is my final cry
They say, it'll be alright

I'm sorry dad, I never said goodnight
I'm sorry
I never said goodnight
Don't let go of me.

Will I live forever?
Do I have to stay alone at sea?
Can I join you where you are?
You'll never see what I can be
Will I die alone?
Can you please save me?
Father I wish I could tell you one thing

I miss you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
