You've been through so much
anxiety and depression
threw out your prescriptions like they were nothing
you could've died, could've had a seizure
and left behind your whole life
Hey dad, what's happening to mom?
Why is she acting like that?
Listen, son, it's just a panic attack
don't worry, it'll pass
Hey dad, what's happening to mom?
Why is she skinny like that?
Listen, son, the cancer is spreading fast
I'm worried, cause I don't know if it'll pass

Sitting and waiting, anxiously avoiding
anyone and anything that cares
I'm sorry I'm here and you're there
I don't wanna hear if she's gone she'll be in a better place
when I know the best place is here
With her husband, her two sons, and our dog
I'm sorry mom, but it's just way too hard
to look up, to keep faith, and trust God
cause I know if I wake up and you're gone
I'll blame him because I'll feel so small
I couldn't do anything at all
like He could, He should, like I know I would
I'd take you, I'd keep you, cause you're way too good
too loving, too perfect, and I'm at fault
for leaving at the wrong time, for missing your calls
I didn't mean to neglect you, I was fucking wrong
I'd take a bullet, take a beating, please just leave her alone
don't you take her, don't you touch her, her jobs not done
she needs to be here, I need her, cause I'm all alone
and no one loves you like your mother

Her Love Remains

How could you leave me, when I needed you most
when I needed someone to hold me close
as I break down
My mother is dying before my eyes
curled in a ball, crying to her son
Her hands clench mine as I say nothing
no words can form
Don't you just love being helpless?
Don't you just love seeing the person you love most
suffer?
Why is it so easy to ignore?
Her strength is gone
her hair is gone
her body is gone
but her love remains
she's still the same
she hasn't changed
