The Worst Kind Of Lullaby

Maybe I should say my last goodbyes
It could be for the last time
And it's not right
"Don't let yourself get in over your head," he said
Alone and far from home, I'll find you

Dead, like a candle you burned out
Spill the wax over the spaces
Left in place of angry words
Scream to be heard
Like you needed any more attention
Throw the bottle, break the door, and disappear

Sing me to sleep
I'll see you in my dreams
Waiting to say
"I miss you. I'm so sorry."

Forevers never seemed so long
As when you're not around
It's like a piece of me is missing
I could have learned so much from you
But what's left now?

Don't you realize you showed this family a world of pain?
Can't you see this could have been
The happy ending we let go?

Sing me to sleep
I'll see you in my dreams
Waiting to say
"I miss you."
