today they bury him

I will miss you.
Why didnt I come to say goodbye?
You know the reason, you know i wouldn't be able to handle it.
And if your angry at me then be angry
I'm sure i deserve it
I've missed the last chance to say goodbye

Last time we met you were covered in wires
Tubes going through you
Life flowing in and out

I waited, for six whole hours
Just to see you again
Because of course
I knew
That maybe
It would be
The last time


I tried not to weep
Tried to be strong
The first time I saw you?
I couldn't hold it in
I was so glad you were asleep
because I didnt want to see the hurt flow from me to you

And I had to leave

But the next time I stayed
and you were still asleep
Words and the stories streamed from my mouth and into your ears
Did you hear me?
Were you comforted?
I'll never know

BEcause your gone
And I'll miss you
Because I love you
And its funny to think that the last thing you tried to tell me was
'I love you'
And I love you too



So today they bury you
Far far away from me
And next to your dear sweet wife
who was taken from us
by the cruel hand of death
and disease


JUST THINK
if you weren't so stubborn
you may still be alive
If you had just stopped drinking
I wouldn't be cursed
with the image of you
in a hospital bed
with tubes and wires cutting deep your flesh
and then you trying to pull them out
and sit up
and give me a hug


But I missed my chance
This is my goodbye
I said next time we meet we'll both be healthy
But of course we will never meet again
Because your gone
Gone
My Grandad
I'll miss you
