[Verse 1]
To see him every day, guilt could go away
Oh, wouldn't I be perfect? Justice is cursed
There's only so much time I have to sit beside the dying
And I'm happily unaware, empty in a stare
Only in their prison, cloudy where they head now
And isn't it unfair?
[Chorus]
I'm running blind with a pair of scissors in my hand
To keep him with me, hand-to-hand
He handed me his life too young
To back together, I'm in over my head
[Verse 2]
Oh, am I dyin' now? Walkin' through his hall
He greets me with a smile denies he has a child
I wonder if this version of him feels content with all he's done
He knows he sailed the sea, he knows he loved to read
He crossed the grandest canyon, he walked in early mornings
I wish I'd joined him more
[Chorus]
I'm running blind with a pair of scissors in my hand
To keep him with me, hand-to-hand
He handed me his life too young
To back together, I'm in over my head
[Bridge]
And every time I have to say, "Goodbye"
Don't want to part and then we'll never cry
It hits me later when I'm all alone
With my thoughts instead of holding onto us
For us, it's only me
And if I stop, I know he'll leave
Whatever's left of me he can recall
I'm over my head
And every time I have to say, "Goodbye"
Don't want to part and then we'll never cry
It hits me later when I'm all alone
With my thoughts instead of holding onto us
For us, it's only me
And if I stop, I know he'll leave
Whatever's left of me he can recall
[Outro]
Left with who I never had and who I never
Had, ah, oh
Mm, yeah, yeah
No, oh, yeah, oh
Oh yeah, no, mm
