My Last Goodbye

Give me a reason to open my eyes.
There’s something staring at me tonight
that I’m not seeing.

A life gone in a moment,
a shadow in time,
slowly killing me —
but tonight I say goodbye.

Give my dad a hug for me.
Kiss Mom on the brow.
Tell them I love them
and I’ll see them again somehow.

Putting on my best face
tears me apart inside.
Tonight I’ll close my eyes
and wish you my last goodbye.
