Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey can  you hear me
I just wanted to let you know, hmm mmm
[Verse 2]
I hope you can hear what I write to you
How could I say goodbye to you
When I'm a life that came out of the inside of a life that was inside of you
I gotta respect the way you provided food for the whole fam
You came over a moon rush supporting Mar Jay's old man
Cold double eight, eight kids, bare wheels plus racists full of hatred in your own plant
Three jobs in a day rest in life that you working but you were never stressed free
Just locked in a cage slaving they said there was gold in the pavements
But you came and saw the road to amazement broke your heart but still you were prone to last
And your sorrow was over fast I hope you're listening right
I still think of you every Sunday no one can top your chicken and rice
Even through the darkest times you held us all up
Cause your vision was bright I knew your strength was your wisdom inside
You never let anyone see your heartache you just got on with it
Anyone tells me that they knew you said you were beautiful and your words you would stand strong with it
Cause they were just like warmth on a winter night but I was just too young to go on with it
And there something's I could try to do but it's an impossible task for me
To even try to say goodbye to you, I couldn't do that I owe my life to you
[Verse 3]
And of the pieces of my soul, because I need a sign I hope this pain will heal in time
You know I never wanna be alone
I can see the stars as the cold wind greets the air
And will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the tear drops down my face
Or feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you, oh
[Verse 4]
I think you phony when I was younger with the knowledge of things that I know now
I would be by your side when you needed me instead of asking you Nan can I go out
Standing in a road with the gangs that I know now
Everyone's missing you loads
Jessica's grown up, Warren, Lauren and Alex are fine, and I'm living with hope
It's been a while since I seen C and the mouths
I miss seeing a family being a family
And us agreeing with smiles how it used to be as a child
As time goes by, the bridge seems longer
Family problems have never been funny
In my heart the only one that dissed me Sonia
She took all our inheritance money
Left the rest of us to pick up the pieces
I never forgive the way she betrayed us
There ain't a big enough reason before I sell out my fam I'll be giving up breathing
But I guess everyone's different or should I say no one's perfect
She had happiness in front of her but chose to ride the wave no one's surfin'
Since you gone the foundation's crumbled so building it back up is my next step
I got all the bricks and the cement but it's hard when I'm done I don't know what to expect
So give me the strength that I need to perform this task
Make it right I must do and I ask cause I trust you
It goes way beyond the song when I say that I love you
[Verse 5]
And of the pieces of my soul, because I need a sign I hope this pain will heal in time
You know I never wanna be alone
I can see the stars as the cold wind greets the air
And will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the tear drops down my face
Or feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you, oh
[Verse 6]
It's just for now so I should hush
I'll never get enough I'll see you when I see you but
I miss you, oh how I miss you
It's just for now so I should hush
I'll never get enough I'll see you when I see you but
I miss you, oh how I miss you
[Verse 7]
There ain't enough words to describe how sorry I am for the pain that I caused
Sorry for when I stuck up my own blood we were young and he said he was raping his broad
And for the day the police came to the door I'm sorry for being such a bad youth
Stealing from your purse and making you mourn, I never been able to say this before
Cause I was so inconsiderate, you loved me unconditionally
And I took advantage of it like an idiot
Not seeing the pure soul I was living with I really hope that you can forgive me
You going away was a punishment
But I won't let go I'm holding you with me
But I still fight the emotions within me
[Verse 8]
I can see the stars as the cold wind greets the air
And will you think of me up there
And can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the tear drops down your face
Feel the chill of your warm embrace
And can I say goodbye to you
[Verse 9]
I can see the stars as the cold wind greets the air
And will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the tear drops down my face
Or feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you
