you are gone 03:17
Can you believe that Every single moment has been spent with you and Now you are gone 2022 Gonna be 32 soon I’m fatherless I’m talking to the moon I feel loveless Lost nonetheless I guess I can’t help it You’d have sent consolation Telling me now “Enjoy the process” You’d have sent words of wisdom And all the angels Can you believe that Every single moment has been spent with you and Now you’re gone Can you believe that Every passing second I am missing you but Now you’re gone 1991 When I was just born You are my father Like no other I feel so loved As your first daughter “You’re the summer of my life” You’d have made resolutions Telling me how to Spend my time well You’d have made your decisions Before you go

On the weekends here I come On the weekdays there I go To and fro and to and fro Don’t even want a GetGo There’s a clear lack of space Not this nation but in our place Don’t get me wrong don’t get me wrong It’s not where I belong I don’t feel at ease I can’t hear my music Everyday is a struggle Even when we are together It’s as if I’m still alone Can I still call you my home Everyday I’m a warrior Even when we are apart Relationship is just a title Can I still call you my own In the midnights I’m awake In the mornings there I lay (alarm goes) On and on and on and on (on and on) I don’t know where I hear it from It’s unclear how I live Is this real or just a dream Wake me up oh wake me up (wake me up oh) This is not where I belong I can’t sleep in peace I can’t hear my heartbeat Everyday is a struggle Even when we are together It’s as if I’m still alone Can I still call you my home Everyday I’m a warrior Even when we are apart Relationship is just a title Can I still call you my own On my own, am I on my own On my own, am I on my own

Hearts They bind us together We found us each other Wanna be together Guts They hurt us so badly I want this to end right now I’m at my wits' end When you don’t have it You want it (I dont want to leave you) When you got it You miss the chance To cherish it When you don’t have it You crave it (I just want to love you) When you got it You forget to Treasure it Is this love? Hearts We wear them on our sleeves We have been so in love Until we are not Guts They turn us into strangers Who are we right now? I can’t recognise

Control your thoughts Control your mind Everything will be fine but I Why do I feel so tired? Control your moods Oh don’t you brood Today’s gonna be so good but I Why do I feel like it’s a lie? (Oh) Regulate yourself My brain’s like a wild child It sure feels like hell Regulate yourself Create a space Between your brows Let the joy permeate And smile (Let the joy in now) You don’t have to feel so tired Create a song Between the lines Let the music lighten up Your life (Let the music flow) Everything is not a lie (Oh) Regulate yourself My brain’s like a wild child It sure feels like hell Regulate yourself I got to get myself out now You got to get yourself out now We got to get ourselves out now (Regulate yourself) Control your thoughts Control your mind Everything will be fine and I Today I will be alright

Dear father, are you there Can you say a “hello” back? I know you can hear me well You’re always there for me Now you’re a step closer to heaven I know you’re in a better place I know I’m not in a position Where I could say I need you back Dear father, are you well Please take good care of yourself You know I will clean up my mess Don’t worry and have a good rest Now you’re a step closer to heaven I know you’re in a better place I know I’m now in a position Where I could say I got your back So, my father, here I am Singing is what I do best In my dreams you softly land In my tears I feel your caress Now you’re a step closer to heaven I know you’re in a better place I know right now I can safely say You did your best We will live our best
