Three years now gone by Since the day that you left us Still no flowers at your headstone, Call it swift and sober justice I used to think you cared About your own flesh and blood, But the line became blurred You were clearly never capable of love. I sat and watched by the window For the day that you'd return, Like a knight in shining armor I just hoped you could be stronger. And I recall. The rain kept falling Yhe tail lights dimmed, I should have known, You'd never come home I never felt so alone, As I walked along the same road That turned my heart to stone Now my baby brother is just a sad Reminder of The promises to my mother and I That you couldn't keep. I sat and watched by the window, For the day that you'd return, But I should have known You'd never come home. Oh, Father. Oh, Father! You'll never be the one to pick me up, Or teach me to be a man when times get tough, To tell me you're proud at the end of the Day Sometimes goodbyes are the hardest to say, I never got one No flowers at your headstone No flowers from me No peace for me. I hope you Rest In Peace. I hope you Rest In Peace, While the rest of us piece it together.
