Parting Words

I quiver at the thought of your departure The constant whisper of a life without your grace I just wish it could be me in your place To bless the world with a sense of relief For every moment I spent sleeping away the guilt I'd die a thousand times to bring you back And keep you safe from what bodes you ill Shed your form and drift away Seek the comfort of weightlessness I lost myself when you found the Lord But I believe that death can't keep us apart We're either on the wrong side of the earth Or separated by the absence of a heartbeat Shed your form and drift away Seek the comfort of weightlessness I wish I'd taken this time to grow But we all feel like giving up eventually All I have left is the hope that I'll see you again All I have left is the faith that I'll see you again So you might know love when you hear them Let these words ring out forever I'll scream until my last breath
