Not a day goes by where I don't think of you
Of the life I almost got to have in my arms
And the life taken much too soon
Of the father that walked away
And the mother that drank you away
As if I could
Because I didn't; not completely
I drank you away,
In a way
But not in the way I meant to
And I'm sorry, so sorry
I can never make up for that,
I've been through a million hells for doing that
I've explained myself, justified myself
Hell, I tried to kill myself
Just to make it up to you
Every bottle I finished, I sang a song
Dedicated it to the stars, in hopes you'd hear it
Every cut I made, I bled into the earth
Hoping we could stay together, just a moment longer
You have another sister, now
I've been so careful with her, to make up for you
And I've prayed to you nightly
Just watch over us, please
Of the life I almost got to have in my arms
And the life taken much too soon
Of the father that walked away
And the mother that drank you away
As if I could
Because I didn't; not completely
I drank you away,
In a way
But not in the way I meant to
And I'm sorry, so sorry
I can never make up for that,
I've been through a million hells for doing that
I've explained myself, justified myself
Hell, I tried to kill myself
Just to make it up to you
Every bottle I finished, I sang a song
Dedicated it to the stars, in hopes you'd hear it
Every cut I made, I bled into the earth
Hoping we could stay together, just a moment longer
You have another sister, now
I've been so careful with her, to make up for you
And I've prayed to you nightly
Just watch over us, please
