Dead Tom's Dead

At the stroke of midnight
 Her body failed
 And what seemed like a dream turned out to be real
 The fear in her sons eyes
 His tears resembled the rain outside
 He approached her bedside for one final goodbye
 We are always chasing
 But never seizing the moment
 Has my time been wasted
 Fighting for things I can't change
 I'm fighting for things I can't change
 I was never good at farewells
 The fear in my eyes
 I know you can tell
 Your unable to speak
 But there's no need
 Just squeeze my hand and let me know you hear me
 I've been promised the best years
 But suffered some of the worst
 I'm not asking for much here
 Just something good to come first
 I'm afraid of what I'll see when the curtain drops
 When the lights go out
 When the music stops
 Because I'm afraid of what I'll find if I search to hard
 Will I lose my mind
 Will it break my heart
 As the story goes
 There's always someone slowing you down
 It's time to face the truth
 There's no one left around
 I've faced the worst, took the best, and picked my knees off the ground
 With just enough of myself to turn this life around
 We are always chasing
 But never seizing the moment
 Has my time been wasted
 Fighting for things I can't change
 I'm fighting for things I can't change
