lyrics

Mama always told me I was special
She never doubted me
When I cry myself to sleep
She tucks me in

Last night I had a dream
She was gone

I can’t shake the feeling
That loved ones have to leave
Some say, for a better place
I’m scared of what awaits

Papa told me I was brave
I always doubted that
When I strike him with my laugh
He reminds me to behave

I keep track of every word
And of each pat on the shoulder

Writing this is hard
I’m petrified
By the thought his grave

I can’t be that brave
I can’t be that brave
(I can’t be that brave)
I can’t that brave
(I can’t be that brave)
I can’t be that brave
