Mourning Song

Lyrics

I was thinking of leaving
 With the world placed firmly at my feet
 Nothing left to gain, nothing left to give you
 If I could simply stop breathing
 Maybe then the ache would go away
 Nowhere left to run, nothing left to run from
 When you looked me in the eyes
 How could I have known that, that would be your final goodbye?
 ♪
 How is it fair I must live this life
 Without your infinite light and guidance?
 How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
 And now we all live in the shadow of it
 In your slumber, you've shown me
 All the little things that you're deprived
 Of every single thing that I took for granted
 Now, I sit here in mourning
 Knowing that you left while you were lost
 And now I'm petrified of leaving before I belonged
 My entire life is shrouded now
 That death's black wing eclipsed your sunshine
 And if I have to live for you in spite of all
 The pain that I might feel that I go through
 That's something that I swear to do
 How is it fair I must live this life
 Without your infinite light and guidance?
 How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
 And now we all live in the shadow of it
 There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
 All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
 Though life will move without you, I will never move along
 If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep
 ♪
 There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
 All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
 Though life will move without you, I will never move along
 If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep, then let this be my mourning song
