lyrics

They checked your vital signs, everything's not right
Your hearts beating faster than my drive here tonight
Your lungs are machines; I pray they still breathe
In the morning

Oh, what a day to say goodbye
Can't you stay another?

You felt it was time, the pain won't subside
The moment you leave every part of me dies
The drugs aren't enough, the push of your pulse
Is fading

And though you voice was broken
I won't forget the sentiment
And I will grow
Within these bones

Grown up when you left, I remember you best;
You were towing the line or just taking the piss
I constantly grieve, I laugh then there's tears
But I'm alright

Oh, what a day to say goodbye
Can't you stay another?

My cornerstone, the structures that your hands
Had built so tall, sleep well now old man
Forever lost, but only was told
'Son just grow within those bones'

They broke the bones inside of you
To bring you back to life again
Then punctured every part of you
With needles that you couldn't stand
When I grow up if I become half the man
We'd all be in safe hands
When I grow up if I become half the man
We'd all be in safe hands

So I'll grow within these bones
