Standing by your hospital bed
I just wanted you to open your eyes
Grab my hand and say that I'll be ok
I don't know how I'll make it without you
And I hope that
That I can make it through the week
Before I hit the bottle and, and I drink myself to sleep
18 long months
I watched you slowly fade away
But I wouldn't be there to see you to your grave
The silence
It haunts me
You were greater than I've ever known
The darkness
Where you sleep
You're still greater than I've ever known
And I need to
Just know that I can find some peace
You were always there to listen
When I couldn't fall asleep
I miss you so bad
I drink most every day of the week
I just want to hear you say I'll be ok
The silence
It haunts me
You were greater than I've ever known
The darkness
Where you sleep
You're still greater than I've ever known
And I know if you could see me now I'd make you proud
I have a son
I have a home
I'll carry your name til I'm gone
The silence
It haunts me
You were greater than I've ever known
The darkness
Where you sleep
You're still greater than I've ever known
