The struggles that I face everyday
Are struggles that have never gone away
I wake in the morning and what do I see?A lost little boy mourning to be
I struggle with loss, pain and anxiety
But most of all, I struggle from not being meTime will heal all wounds, that's what they said
So I watched the clock as time faded away
But it really didn't heal anythingGrandma, the doctor said you're dead and gone
But I really don't want to believe that
I want to believe that you went on a long trip
And sooner or later, you'll come back to meBut sadly for me, that's not the case
So tell me, are you really dead and gone?
My heart is a void now, devoid of hope
And I'm scared to let people inI will never let go, no matter how many oceans I cry
And I'll never ever say goodbye
Mentally, most of my time is now spent
At the cold dark place where you've been laidAnd I sit here crying, screaming, wondering
Why did you have to leave me alone like that?
You were the only one I had left!The cold Monday night you left me
My entire life changed forever
How am I supposed to go on without you here with me?No one sees me or the pain behind the mask
They only see the smiling happy boy I show them
How can I let them see the darkness and pain in my heart?
It's so damn depressing that it might scare them awaySo instead, I carry on and pretend to be fine
But I long for the day that someone will see
See through my mask and I'll no longer be aloneGrandma, I would give anything just to have you back
But now I know that you're never coming back
A pain breaks forth and stabs through my heartIt stabs through my soul, tears still falling
And my heart breaks all over again
Wishing I could just die so I won't feel this pain anymoreSo now you know what it feels like
To lose the only source of happiness in my life
Now you know what it feels like
To lose a loved one...
