Lullaby
You left faster than expected
You got what you wanted
A peaceful ending
We live on through your memory
I am my father's son
You'll never be forgotten
Finding peace through this instrumental
Going through old pictures
Blaming myself
I was there for every step
Every appointment
You never lost your personality
I felt so alone
But thinking of you brings me home
Apart of me is missing tears dripping
Feeling guilty
Finding closure
Signing your death certificate
Organising your funeral
I wasn't ready saying goodbye to my idol
I paid for everything
All I got back was some resentment
I'm missing your guidance
Family I haven't spoke to in years
Calling me saying their sorry
I wanna keep the peace but I don't wanna hear it
Your guilt isn't my problem
Speaking about it to someone who hasn't been through it isn't helping
They don't understand it
But family is family yeah
I wanna say goodbye
It doesn't feel right
Read my my Lullaby
One last time
I wanna say goodbye
It doesn't feel right
Read my my Lullaby
One last time
I've been speaking to Hayley
She's your spitting image
We're the remains of your legacy
The home feels cold and lonely
Going around feeling guilty
How did life change so quickly?
You can't even prepare for it
I've just turned 26
Hasn't a year gone quick?
There's been so much already that you've missed
You got me to learn from your mistakes
I am your protege
I got one or two of your traits
You taught me everything I know
I got flashbacks when I heard Zeppelin on the radio
One the day I woke up at eight wide awake
I could see that you was in a lot of pain
A feeling I couldn't shake all day
I could never explain it
You ever had a gut feeling?
The doctor confirmed my suspicions yeah
Let me brothers know
Half hour before that I had to tell you the cancer spread
I was a mess calm on the surface
You never looked fazed
You held on until everybody was there
Said our final farewell
You went out your own way
That's all you ever wanted yeah
I wanna say goodbye
It doesn't feel right
Read my my Lullaby
One last time
I wanna say goodbye
It doesn't feel right
Read my my Lullaby
One last time
For weeks I was staying busy
I wasn't really sleeping
Too busy reminiscing
Thinking of the things I could of done different
I don't feel like the youngest
I no longer feel protected
I always remember me and JB carrying your casket
You learn to get on with it
Telling the same old stories
Strained relationship's with the one's I regard my closest
I wrote this one year later
I still got the blue folder
I moved out thinking it was what I needed
But the past you can't forget yeah
I wanna say goodbye
It doesn't feel right
Read my my Lullaby
One last time
I wanna say goodbye
It doesn't feel right
Read my my Lullaby
One last time
