SHINEDOWN

I painted your room at midnight
So I’d know yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Man I’m getting older

I took all your pictures off the wall
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
I haven’t slept in what seems like a century
And now I can barely breathe

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin’ high as outer space
I never thought you would slip away
I guess I was just a little too late…

STAIND

Well I want you to notice
To notice when I’m not around
To notice your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound

I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I’ve already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I’ll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter

When I woke up this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I’ll be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone
