(I watched you wither away
And I wish that I could say)
Now I know what it's like to lose
A special part of me I always knew
I scream out to a voiceless sky
"How can this be true?"
The thought of living in a world without you
Has torn me apart
Taken everything from me
I cursed you for not fighting
But I was just too young to see
That you were in pain
Fading right before my eyes
Changing into someone that we couldn't recognize
I've watched through the lens of a broken man
Saw you wither away
Touched by an unseen hand
A painful reminder that life's too short
Your loss will forever haunt me
Tell me now was this part of the plan
I tried my best to understand
All my prayers were for nothing
The sickness kept spreading
And I was forced to watch you lose your mind
And now that you're gone
I realized I was selfish
And I did it all wrong
I wish i'd known all along
The cancer you fought was too strong
And it was not your fault
And now you're gone
I did it all wrong
I knew all along
It was not your fault
I've watched through the lens of a broken man
Saw you wither away
Touched by an unseen hand
A painful reminder that life's too short
Your loss will forever haunt me
You withered away
(You withered away)
And I wish that I could say
I'm sorry i blamed you
I'm sorry I blamed you
With my eyes closed shut
I can barely feel the pain
Trying to remember all the love that you gave
Let's be honest was there ever a plan
(I think not)
I needed someone to blame
But you were only just a victim
And now that you're gone
I realized I was selfish and I did it all wrong
I wish i'd known all along
The cancer you fought was too strong
And it was not your fault
I watched as you withered away
And it was not your fault.
