It's time for me to go

When every generation
Has to pass the one before
How can you bare it
to walk out that door.

This would be so easy,
If it only happened to me.
But good things never come,
to me it ever seems

I came home from school,
and I seen him in the bed.
I couldn't sort the memories
that ran through my head.

So I sat down beside him
and held on to his arm
he gave me so much,
To see I never was harmed.

"Daddy don't you leave me,
I was always on your side.
I never told you my feelings
but now they're to hard to hid.

I didn't get to tell you
all the things I have to say.
Please just come back,
Please give me one more day."

He never came to me,
as he died on that bed.
now I can't forget,
all the things I hadn't said.

I never stopped crying,
till they buried him that fall.
Well I'm sure I heard echoes
crying in the hall

Now I have just one wish,
to look into his eyes
and say:
"That I miss you,
I'm not telling any lies.

How could you leave me,
and set me on your own.
Now I look back in envy,
of our rundown home.

You showed me a life,
then went on your way.
I didn't have time to tell you,
Just what I had to say.

"Daddy, I grew up just like you".
