Death Bed, Pt. 2

Hook: 

you lift me up 

you know my name 

you fill my cup 

I'll never be the same 

this light of mine 

I'll let it shine 

cause you know my name 

I'll never be the same again 

  

Verse 1: 

it's been a while since we talked last 

let's keep it real 

it seems like everyone's forgotten 

but you never will 

  

this life’s a rocky path 

that we all move along 

still putting flowers by my grave 

but you don't stay as long 

  

friends come and go 

but i ain’t coming back 

it took you 8 months and a therapist to finally come to terms with that 

  

journal every morning 

every dream that you run into me 

might not hear my voice again 

but I'll always be listening 

  

So listen one last time 

as you reading this letter 

happiest I've ever been 

was when we promised forever 

honeymoon was in July 

then i left in September 

know that God still has plan 

though we no longer together 

 

Hook: 

you lift me up 

you know my name 

you fill my cup 

I'll never be the same 

this light of mine 

I'll let it shine 

cause you know my name 

I'll never be the same again 

 

Verse 2: 

you told me you couldn't keep living if I died first 

I told you God will get you through it  

that's how life works 

nobody knew me like you did 

you could read my thoughts 

You were the first to know I'm sick 

you felt that somethings off 

  

it started out with a cough 

but every day it got deeper 

doctors said I'd get better 

but I just kept getting weaker 

  

all our dreams put to an end 

a final kiss goodbye 

now I'll keep waiting for eternity 

so take your time 

 

Hook: 

you lift me up 

you know my name 

you fill my cup 

I'll never be the same 

this light of mine 

I'll let it shine 

cause you know my name 

I'll never be the same again 

  

Verse 3 

it won't be the same 

but it gets easier 

keep doing your best 

follow the spirit   

Jesus gave you 

angels guiding your steps 

  

left a piece of me with you 

and you’ve been watching it grow 

two months until the day 

you bring our little girl home 

  

momma and daughter matching outfits 

a Christmas alone 

missing the feeling of me there 

so you still spray my cologne 

  

pushing your stroller through the snow 

days are quick to get dark 

no one to shovel out the car 

so it's been staying in park 

  

don't feel like you're betraying me 

by going on dates 

single motherhood is heavy 

might need help with the weight 

  

keep on singing to our baby 

show her pictures of us 

as she grows up you can tell her  

about the man that I was
