I don't want to sing this song
But it must be done
Before you're gone
I want you to know
How I'll feel when you're gone
Somewhere far away
From me
I see your face fixed like stone
There's noone home
Where should I go
I'll never find you in the hollow
Of all the places we used to go
But you're still here
Instilled in me
Until I go
I don't know how you'll take this song
But it must be done
Before you're gone
I've never seen you cry
Did you used to cry like me
When it hurt
Just as bad
Like I do now
I know you'll have no stone
Where I can go
Cry and morn
We'll never meet again
Oh, please open your eyes
Don't leave me
On my own
In this crazy world
