lyrics

So weak, so fragile
I lost his smile today
I wasn't there now he's not here
And I can't lift this weight

Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
And I see his face everywhere
Hear things I couldn't say

My last words to him
Were not goodbye
I should have known
Once they took him through that door
I'd never see him again
It's all my fault

There goes one more day
In the absence of you
I'm feeling this loss
And there's nothing anyone can do

And I stare at the ceiling
When I'm trying to sleep
I search for the pills, but still
Don't know if I want to wake up

Everyone shows sympathy
but no one can live for me
What I hide
Way too painful to explain

And they see my day to day
Tell me must be something else
What's a mother good for
When her son breathes no more?

There goes one more day
In the absence of you
I'm feeling this loss
And there's nothing anyone can do

And I stare at the ceiling
When I'm trying to sleep
I search for the pills, but still
Don't know if I want to wake up

Suddenly I see him
As I stand at the edge of a lake
His head underwater, asleep
But waiting for me

So I dive, and go further
Deeper in order to reach him
I forget everything
And there's no more pain

But what he said was... don't

(Don't let me go)
There goes one more day
(Help me)
I'm still missing you
(Try to let go)
I'm feeling this loss
(Save yourself)
And there's nothing anyone can do
(And don't dare)

(Keep holding on)
And I stare at the ceiling
(Remember)
When I'm trying to sleep
(Learn to let go)
I search for the pills, but still
(Take my hand)
Don't know if I want to wake up
(And don't dare)

Don't know if I want to wake up
Don't know if I want to
Don't know if I want to wake up
