Love, Loss

There’s a wife, now a widow

Just sitting alone

Reminiscing on the old times

As they come and they go

How did it go wrong?

“How can I fall apart when

all I hear is ‘be strong’?”

No way, oh why

Is life like this?

Would’ve held on a little longer had I known it was the last kiss

No way, oh what

Am I supposed to do?

Forever’s not forever if it’s without you

There’s a son, he’s an athlete

On Wednesdays, he runs

A whole life ahead of him

Barely twenty-one

So much more for him to learn

These days it gets harder

Cause how is a boy to grow

Without his father?

No way, oh why

Is life like this?

It never gets easier with all the games you miss

No way, oh why

Did you have to go?

I hate that you’re not here to watch me grow

There’s a girl, she’s the eldest

A storm brews in her head

She’s tossing and turning

Can’t make peace with the regret

Realising that everything

Was too little too late

She wishes that her daddy

Could just hear her say

No way, oh why

Couldn’t you wait?

I finally figured it out

I was on my way

No way, oh what

Am I supposed to do?

I love you but

I don’t think that you ever had a clue

No way, oh why

Is life like this?

All I do these days

Is cry and reminisce

No way, oh why

Is life like this?

I see you in my dreams now…

and it’s bliss
