Make It Without You
Tears on my pillow from knowing there will be no answer if I knock on your door
Holding my phone in my hand, but you can't answer anymore
I feel lost knowing you're gone, I don't know what to do
God must have needed you more, so I've got to find a way to make it without you
I hope you're comfortable in your new room in heaven
I hope god has made you a nice cup of tea
Can you make it rain tonight
Just so I know you're looking down on me
My eyes are filled with tears that you'd tell me not to cry
It just hit me that I'll never hear your voice again
You're finally at peace, but I'm selfish and wish you didn't die
I know I have to accept it, but I really want to avoid the pain
You were the mother that mine was unable to be
We would sit and talk, you'd give advice to me
I'm smiling for the world and trying to pretend that nothing is wrong
I walked over to your front door the other day, then I remembered that you're gone
You did more for me in 6 years than my family did in my whole life
Can you send me a sign to let me know everything will be okay during the night?
You were my mums neighbour, but became such a great friend to me
I miss you Pauline, you're now the Guardian angel I can no longer see
Tears on my pillow from knowing there will be no answer if I knock on your door
Holding my phone in my hand, but you can't answer anymore
I feel lost knowing you're gone, I don't know what to do
God must have needed you more, so I've got to find a way to make it without you
