Without Saying Goodbye
It was early in the morning
Around 9 or 10
When my mom came home
Accompanied by men
It was the look in her eyes
That confirmed my worst fears
And when my stepdad arrived
I still held my tears
He's gone, I know it
They didn't have to say
All I had to ask was
In what way?
Gassed himself...
I was instantly sad
Alone with his thoughts
And I wasn't even there to hold his hand
Why?... was the question
I kept asking myself
Wasn't I enough
To keep this man in good health
He was more than a man,
He was a hero to me
My father was so special
I just wish he could see
