~~~

What words are there to say?

~~~

This gaping hole

It's not for that

Not because of you

Why would I do that?

My life is collapsing

I keep holding on 

What am I doing...

Why?

Is this wrong?

~~~

This One's For Dad

~~~ 

Maybe, maybe I'm crazy

Maybe I'm mad

Maybe you know that

Maybe you're sad

But, Dad...

You left us

I don't understand.

Today wasn't the same without you.

Maybe you lost parents young

Maybe your marriage went bad

Maybe you tried your best to let me know

Maybe you're alone now, and sad

But, Dad...

Where are you?

I don't understand.

Five places laid, not six, without you 

Maybe we were fighting far too much

Maybe just ignoring you was wrong

Maybe you were depressed but now just know

Leaving will leave damage for too long

Dad,

Are you happy now?

'Cause I think I understand,

I'm just too afraid to say.

So's mum.

Everyone.

You happy now? Now you're gone?

And I'm left, barely holding on.
