the light of our lives is gone 02:41
lyrics
buy track
it’s been two months and i still don’t know what to do with myself i'm just carrying this weight around everyday until i can’t hold it much longer i wish i wasn’t so calm about this it makes me feel not normal i should be breaking down everyday, right? i guess when you see it coming for this long you just prepare yourself i knew you wouldn’t be here much longer but i was still thrown off when you came home after leaving the hospital and said 
 “the good news is i won’t be dying soon” but then it happened oh god it happened it’s not fucking fair, to me at least you didn’t deserve to go the way you did i wish you could’ve gripped my hand one last time but i don’t think you had the strength no you didn't have the strength your eyes were open and you were breathing so i hope you heard every last word i said to you in the gardenia room those words your heavy breathing and the sound of the ventilator will stick with me forever those sounds will stick with me forever the light of our lives is gone and now we don’t know what to do

it felt like you were there 01:16
lyrics

i haven’t cried since you died i guess its just been building over time but today i finally broke in my teachers office and had to run to the bathroom and cry for ten or so minutes but it felt like you were there by my side when i was talking to myself in the bathroom mirror saying ‘i miss you dad’

about

these two songs are about the death of my dad and what i've felt since then. they're the only two i've had the motivation to finish since it happened so they're very special to me. thanks for listening.
