This was a hard one to write. Hard to sing. Hard to listen to. It’s the deepest I’ve gone lyrically about any dark time in my life. Lost my dad unexpectedly in December 2016. Felt sad. Angry. Depressed. Confused. All the feelings of grief. I was going to call it “Dark Shadows” because it was his fav...
[Verse 1]
You were the last one
Of a world that’s been destroyed
Left behind a legacy of boys (Whoa-oh)
I was the first one
That was born into your life
And now I’m watching you breathe one last time (Whoa-oh)
I just scrambling for all the right things I should say
[Chorus]
Please, don’t, go
I’ll be lost, without you
Please, don’t, go
I’ll be lost, without you
[Verse 2]
I wanted to save you
But it was like you did not care
Cause you just sat and waited for the end (Whoa-oh)
It’s like you asked for this
To not put up a fight
You only saw the darkest sides of life (Whoa-oh)
I just scrambling for all the right things I should say (oh!)
[Chorus]
Please, don’t, go
I’ll be lost, without you
Please, don’t, go
I’ll be lost, without you
[Bridge]
I wished you had called me
I didn’t not know it was so bad
All that time that you were drifting away
I would have pulled you back
And now I’m stranded (and now I’m stranded)
[Chorus]
Oh please no, don’t go
I’ll be lost, without you
Please, don’t, go
I’ll be lost, without you
