Thanks So Much for Listening, I LOVE YOU!

lyrics

Let's walk, under the skyline bridge.
Speak up, I'm in denial when you tell me that you're skippin' off for good.
Your departure, unexpected affliction,
Baylee I would rather have it be me before you.
Getting harder to deal with by the second,
Your time is draining rapidly I put it off by thinking, "what's the best way to say goodbye?"

Wake me up before you're leaving

I hope this day in heaven finds you safe, you're far away-
I feel you fading now.
Every time I tried I came too late, you said you'd wait-
I feel you fading now.

I still leave you voicemail, write you letters with return to sender written on the back.
Desperate I even call your mother. I hate to hear her cry but she's not alone.
Her apathetic pseudo-smile shows.

Don't leave me, I almost knew you.

I hope this day in heaven finds you safe, you're far away-
I feel you fading now.
Every time I tried I came too late, you said you'd wait-
I feel you fading now.

Down the line it might not seem so bad, but
she was going to be a mom
I was finally ready to be a dad
Oh my heart used to be so ironclad.
I still set your place at the table, don't be mad.

Baylee, I'm in no shape to think about how I wasted all of my time thinking,
"what's the best way to say goodbye?"
