We're still breathing – nothing's truly fixed...

We can make amends, face the things we feel.

Repent, forgive, no need to scheme and lie...

Don't push away family; let old hurts die.

___

While we're still kicking, we can look behind...

Clock that road you left, the choices in your mind...

Wake up from that nightmare before we fall...

Push back from the edge of that empty crawl.

___

Too many words left dry in the sun,

Pain sticks now, feels like it's never done.

How didn't you not stay?

We forgive but we regret every day….

___

How many close ones found no way,

To save loved ones?

Didn't have time to make it right.

Didn't ask for forgiveness, didn't fight.

___

They vanish, silence all around –

No comeback, no returning sound...

Needed just a minute, one last call –

To see what ghosts our hurts recall.

___

Too many words left dry in the sun,

Pain sticks now, feels like it's never done.

How didn't you not stay?

We forgive but we regret every day….

___

Check that picture – faded black and white…

Tired eyes… they stare into the night…

They let us off the hook, but do we see?

We were never around, and you left us lonely.

Didn't call, didn't visit, barely a heartbeat...

Ghost figures haunt and fade, never go away.

___

Too many words left dry in the sun,

Pain sticks now, feels like it's never done.

How didn't you not stay?

We forgive but we regret every day….
