Storm Before The Calm

Well don't you wish that you were blessed by the presence of her ghost?
Some might say its for the best and babe I will make a toast
With this half filled cup I'd say "let memories live on"
Please don't try to live in denial this is the storm before the calm

[Chorus]
And you say that I'm not alone and I'm all alone again
And you say
I just want to know (time, yeah)
A year and a day and its still not over
And I just can't let go (time, yeah)
Tens years from that day and it's never over
Cause now that you've gone away (now that you've gone away)
I'm lost today left open with nothing to say
I was told I'm not alone
By you and by everyone else

And you say, "we'll meet on up some day"
"and we'll make up for the time that I couldn't stay"
And I wish you could stay
In this empty house, all I wear
Is a cloak of confusion, It'll make me disappear
And dad's got the bottle, he'll drink his pain away
Now a half empty bottle, but the pain is here to stay
Don't you ever wonder (wonder) why those things that happen do?
With heartfelt cries and blood shot eyes, you know that you do too

[Chorus]

Was hard to think
What life would bring
Without you hear
And it helps to sing
Of love received
On days I've grieved
My world is isolation
Is what I believed
And my chest beats hard
And it will explode
You'll walk beside me
Till I grow old
Without you here, without you here
Life's so empty without you here
I just want to know (time, yeah)
A year and a day and its still not over
And I just can't let go (time, yeah)
Tens years from that day and it's never over
Cause now that you've gone away (now that you've gone away)
I'm lost today left open with nothing to say
I was told I'm not alone
By you and by everyone else
By everyone else
By everyone else
