Three years now gone by since the day that you left us Still no flowers at your headstone, call it swift and sober justice I used to think you cared about your own flesh and blood, but the line became blurred You were clearly never capable of love I sat and watched by the window for the day that you’d return, like a knight in shining armor I just hoped you could be stronger And I recall The rain kept falling, the tail lights dimmed I should have known, you’d never come home I never felt so alone, as I walked along the same road that turned my heart to stone. Now my baby brother is just a sad reminder of the promises to my mother and I that you couldn’t keep I sat and watched by the window, for the day that you’d return, but I should have known you’d never come home Oh, father.. Oh, father! You’ll never be the one to pick me up, or teach me to be a man when times get tough, to tell me you’re proud at the end of the day Sometimes goodbyes are the hardest to say, I never got one No flowers at your headstone No flowers from me No peace for me I hope you rest in peace I hope you rest in peace, while the rest of us piece it together
